ORIGINAL POSTERBorder Bounce Experience – (Wang Prachang)
Sharing a recent border bounce experience, via the Wang Prachang border.
When exiting Thailand, the immigration officer asked me two questions:
• Are you planning to return immediately?
• Do you already have a visa?
I answered yes to both.
I was then asked to speak with another officer, who explained that there is a “new policy” in place. According to her, if you exit Thailand and re-enter immediately, you now need to pay 2,000 THB (cash only) in order to be allowed to do so.
I was honestly caught off guard and asked for more details. The explanation remained vague — I was told it was coming from the Malaysian side, but no clear or official justification was provided.
Eventually, I paid the fee (no receipt provided). The officer gave me a plastic card with a number to give to the Malaysian IO, stamped my exit, and I proceeded to the Malaysian immigration checkpoint.
On the Malaysian side, everything was extremely smooth:
No questions, I handed off passeport and the plastic card, just a stamp and a friendly “see you soon”.
Interestingly, when I showed the number I had been given, the Malaysian officer immediately understood the situation — without me needing to explain anything. It clearly seems like a well-established and coordinated process for people who are only crossing to stamp, not actually entering Malaysia.
My personal interpretation (this is only my opinion):
This practice may have been introduced after the recent restrictions on visa runs (didn’t exist before as I crossed many times there with an other type of visa). Since border traffic has dropped significantly, this “fee” could be a way to compensate for lost revenue, even though it does not appear to be an officially published rule.
Worth noting:
The border was completely empty. In the past, even though Wang Prachang was always a relatively quiet checkpoint, there were usually at least a few people doing visa runs. This time — nobody.
Just sharing this experience so others are aware and not caught by surprise.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A recent border bounce at the Wang Prachang checkpoint revealed a new, unofficial fee of 2,000 THB for immediate re-entry into Thailand. Upon exiting, an immigration officer asked if the individual planned to return immediately and if they had a visa. Despite prior familiarity with the border process, the traveler was taken aback by the fee, which seems to be a newly introduced practice possibly linked to reduced border traffic and increased scrutiny on visa runs. Comments from other expats highlighted similar experiences, suggesting this fee, although unofficial, is a part of prevailing corruption practices at the border.

ORIGINAL POSTERJohn Doe Da 1st Hi John, as I mentioned before, my wife’s hometown is about 30 km from this border, so when we visit my in-laws I only need a 30-minute drive to get the additional six months.
In my opinion, even paying 2,000 THB isn’t too bad, as it’s still cheaper than an airplane ticket, and there’s no trouble or extra scrutiny when you bounce back the same day.
I’m not saying it’s good or bad — I’m just sharing the information so people don’t get caught by surprise, and so they remember to bring some cash too 😂
Funny side note: I didn’t have any cash with me, so I ended up calling my wife to transfer money to a nearby shop, which provided banknotes for a small fee…

Anonymous participant I crossed with my dad here to do a border bounce. I had an elite visa but he was on a visa exempt. No problem for me but for him we needed to pay 2500 or stay 3 days in Malaysia. This is not new. Also depends if you’re going with a company that specializes in border runs (the likely pay some tea money for smooth processing) or by yourself. Also as with everything in Thailand you’re sometimes subject to local interpretations of the regulations.
Your DTV visa allows you six months then you have to leave. Think of the 2000 for instant turnaround as equivalent to the 1900 extension fee for other visa types.

Anonymous ******************
Anonymous participant why did you switch from marriage visa to DTV?
Anonymous ******************
Anonymous participant Interesting, but not that surprising, since you were probably paying more for multi-entry and other “fees” on your old visa. The DTV is a tourist visa on which they don’t make much if anything at all. Now, tourist exemption runners and other visa holders (like you) are moving to the DTV. These were previously providing some extra “revenue” to immigration, revenue they now need to find somewhere else.
Anonymous *************
ORIGINAL POSTERParticipant anonyme 393 my old multi entries visa (non-O) was very good because it was a year valid visa and I didn’t have to deal with immigration and it didn’t cost that much since I applied online. I just needed to bounce out every 3 months. They do not offer this option anymore now.. you re right. This “fee” could apply to tourists visa only, (DTV falls in this category). She asked me to talk to an other officer after acknowledge that it was DTV. (Can’t be 100% sure of course)
Anonymous ******************
Anonymous participant Yeah, not surprising at all. And we’re only at the start of the joke. So many people have moved to DTV or are planning to. It looks like your old visa didn’t require extra work, but plenty of people were paying for extra services...

It's Thailand, corruption is everywhere - but in a very systematic way. Cash - to avoid traces. The "Card" is a subtle sign to co-officers saying "I'm allowing this, don't get in the way" kind-of-thing. Same as the borders near Cambodia and Laos, borders mear Malaysia are not exempt.
If you get flagged down by a patrol officer, subtle hints will be given and a "fee" will let you off the hook - drive on your merry way away.
If a foreigner's employer cannot pay the "hush money", then it goes viral so that they can earn their promotion but if paid - they keep silent and turn the other way (either way, they get something out of it).

Anonymous participant 632 Firstly, the Cambodian borders are closed. No one's crossing them now and they might never be reopened.
Secondly "a foreigners employer pays these fees?" No they don't. What are you smoking?
Any corruption fees are always paid by the foreigner themselves, period.
Foreign companies based in Thailand would fire their foreign staff if they knew they paid a bribe.
I got in trouble back in 2008 when I paid a tout to process my exit and re-entry into Thailand at the Cambodian border, which at the time I had NEVER crossed before by land and paid twice what I would have, had I done it on my own. It also took a hell of a long time, well over an hour.
What I did at the time is highly illegal now and can no longer be done at any border. You have to appear in person.
Anyway, I am never hit up for money anywhere in Thailand but then again I don't cross illegally, I don't overstay, I don't work illegally or run an illegal business, nor do I do border runs.

You're wrong 🙂 This has been going on for years and it's done for visa runs... you give money to the officer and you can do a visa run without real “entry” to Malaysia 😊 Dozens, if not hundreds, of Van’s from Phuket and Krabi go there every single day. This is nothing new.
But what's important is that they have a huge billboard there saying "Stop corruption." 😂😂
You were just there at a good time when there weren't too many people, otherwise hundreds of people go there every day for visa runs and each one pays 2,000 THB, so you can calculate how much they earn every day 😊
So yeah is not rule…is pocket money 😉

Anonymous participant There is no way any checkpoint could handle "hundreds of visa run vans per day" not to mention there was never that kind of demand.
Maybe 2 or 3 vans a day, something like that, was the actual number.
At some checkpoints that number might have increased to 5-10 carrying Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian citizens working illegally in Thailand through specific checkpoints to extend their stays, no westerners on board those vans....but still only a handful a day.

Crossed over at the same time as 4 or 5 visa run vans carrying mainly Lao and Vietnamese nationals, some of whom could speak surprisingly good Thai (the Vietnamese in particular) but all of whom had only 30 day stamps they were renewing. Not a single Thai or Burmese national was crossing the border. Only these border runners, myself and my Chinese colleagues.
