hey guys! I'm 5 months into my DTV and staying in Hua Hin with my wife and 2 kids (also on DTV via me)
I need to do a border run in a month and right now we aren't feeling like taking a holiday in a nearby country like I originally planned. does anyone know the best / quickest way to just re-enter? I hear the renewal process is very tedious and not worth it?
I think the ranong crossing into Myanmar is the closest? also is there any kind of fee to pay to cross or come back? I know there is all these border run services that are asking for 5k+ per person, wondering if that's because they are doing something extra for the 30/60 day that we don't need? thank you, Thailand is amazing!!! love from an Aussie family in Thailand.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A family staying in Hua Hin on a DTV visa is looking for quick and affordable options for a border run, as they prefer not to travel for a holiday. Responses suggest that the Ranong crossing into Myanmar is the quickest option. Traveling by car is proposed as the cheapest choice, while border run services typically charge around 5000 baht per person, which includes additional perks. The crossing fee at the pier is approximately 1700 baht per person.
