TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the options for conducting a visa or border run from Bangkok for a UK passport holder. Suggested methods include crossing the border and immediately returning, or using a border run service. Recommendations also highlight the importance of taking all belongings, as there may be issues re-entering Thailand without them. Participants share experiences and caution about potential risks, especially for those using Thailand as a long-term home without proper visas.

Use a border run company, they won't take you if they can't get you back in

All I can recommend is to take ALL of your belongings with you. They may not let back in. Not even to grab your gear then fly home. They’ll send you back to whatever country you made the run.

this happens SOMETIMES to tourists who are using Thailand as a long term home without a visa, go on a good organised tour and the staff enjoy all runs smoothly. I know several in Pattaya but not Bangkok sorry

I never did it myself from Bangkok... However I have done border runs from other locations in Thailand and I recommend flying to Malaysia and go back on the next flight (unless you want to stay...).

Picture for example.

hey mate sorry for the late response but did you take cash/proof of onward travel/hotel reservations with you before getting on the bus? Or did you just get on and that was that? I think I’m planning to go on Thursday with this company 🙏
