What are the best options for visa runs from Koh Samui for US passport holders?
Hi! Curious for anyone that has done basic visa runs from Samui - US passport holder, what’s the easiest option/destination/route/do you arrange yourself or do via an agency? Thanks for any info that’s worked well for you!
Answer summary
Individual experiences suggest that for US passport holders in Koh Samui, the easiest visa run options include traveling to Ranong/Kwathoung or Georgetown, Penang. Prior to COVID, there were organized border bounce tours. Penang is noted as a great city to visit during a visa run.
