ORIGINAL POSTERHey guys, what are the cheapest and closest border run options from bangkok? Looking to apply for the 2 month tourist visa or just do another visa exempt if easier
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the various options for border runs from Bangkok for expats looking to extend their stay in Thailand. It mentions companies providing border run services, specifically to Cambodian and Burmese borders. A key distinction is made between doing a border bounce for a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp versus obtaining a tourist visa at a Thai consulate abroad. The conversation emphasizes that you cannot apply for a tourist visa directly at the borders but must visit a consulate in another country.

There are several companies that take people to the borders from bangkok for 30 day visa exempt entries or to activate another entry on a valid visa.
I'd say check with Thai Visa Service, they go to both the Cambodian border and the Burma border too.

cheapest is the border-bounce for a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.

first off you need to decide if you're wanting to do a "visa-run" where you go to a thai consulate in another country to BUY a tourist visa
OR
If you just want to border-bounce where you go to the border to get a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.

There is no border where you can apply for a Tourist Visa. You have to go abroad, visit a Thai Consulate or Embassy, apply day 1 and pick up the next working day.

Is it cheaper to do a border run for another 60 days or a 30-day tourist visa extension in Thailand?
