What is the best option for a border run from Jontiem Tia?

@Gardar **************************

You are not leaving the airport.

No visa needed 😀

@Piotr ******

but you still need to be stamped in to Cambodia hence the visa on arrival

@Graham *****

If I want to visit Cambodia, Yes.

If I want to just make visa run, I stay in the airport and wait for a flight back.

@Piotr ******

But the point here is that’ll need to pay for a visa on arrival into Cambodia anyway in order to get your new visa exemption when you re-enter Thailand. Transit stay at the airport in Cambodia will not qualify.

And this is not a visa run, just a border bounce to get a visa exemption.

@Jan *****************

The only one thing matters.

New entrance to Thailand.

I know several people who did that.

At the airport in Thailand matter that you enter the country , nothing else.

@Piotr ******

You must also enter and exit another country after stamping out of Thailand to complete a border bounce

@Piotr ******

To get a new entrance into Thailand, you’ll need to stamp out and into Cambodia first. This is basic knowledge.

@Jan *****************

No. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been before enter the Thai border.

You did leave the country and you enter again.

@Piotr ******

You can’t leave any country into nowhere, in fact you enter another country if you leave the thai border and if not entitled to visa exemption you’ll need to apply for a visa. 🤷🏼

@Jan *****************

Yes, you can. Do you want names of the people who did it many times to understand that?

@Piotr ******

yes please

@Graham *****

I’ve talk to two guys. They said that recommend the bus 😂

@Piotr ******

3746kr is still around 12k baht lol.

@Gardar **************************

Now a price in ThB 😊,

@Piotr ******

and does a bus go that early from Jomtien? Highly doubtful then you looking a taxi that is one way. So much simpler to take a border run bus for

@Gardar **************************

Bus goes to the border.

I wanted to visit Phnom Penh, not a village at the border 😂

@Piotr ******

well the topic is border run and what is best for op and surely you can take a cab if you want to go futher inside Cambodia from Ban Laem border 🤷

@Gardar **************************

It’s not about me. We can get some thoughts about visa run to other people. Some might be interested to visit a country while making a visa run 🏃🏿‍♂️😃

@Piotr ******

as I told you, you can tell visa run bus you want to stay Cambodia extra days, they day no problem need to pay extra few baht. Then you can travel as much you want inside Cambodia and come back to the border when you agreed date and time, and they still take you back straight to your hotel but sure I understand with your route then yes might be better with flight and bus or taxi to the airport.

But let face I guess most people in this group want to come back Thailand ASAP not stay in another country. Sure some but mainly to get visa back to Thailand 😅

@Gardar **************************

You can take later flight. It was just example 😊

@Piotr ******

No later flight on the date 26th :) so no matter how much you looking at it, taking flight will not save you money.

@Gardar **************************

Just save your time.

If you have a car, you don’t care about bus schedule.

I wouldn’t like to sit in a bus 10 hours 😏

But I did a visa run some 5 years ago to Cambodia with a flight but I wanted to stay there in a few days…

@Piotr ******

You can still stay there few days when you take the border run bus, and pay few extra baht. For me sitting in a bus that takes you back right in front of your hotel in 10 hours or being in a airport all day then taxi 2 hours before you get back to your hotel is more appealing to be honest. 😄 Of course if you have a car no problem also with that logic why bother with flight or border run bus can just drive yourself 🤣

@Piotr ******

If you don’t feel completely confident about getting another visa exemption, a border run company is always your safest bet anyway.

@Gardar **************************

Yes, you’re right. I thought is a bath.

@Piotr ******

Honest mistake 😊

@Piotr ******

Yes for that price you can fly, but then you have to pay for the visa, travel cost from jomtien to Bangkok and back and food. Suddenly your price is like 😅

@Paul *******

this one I posted picture off

@Jan *****************

For that price you can fly 😁
