TLDR : Answer Summary

A user in Chiang Mai is seeking advice on the cheapest and quickest location for a visa run to obtain a Special Tourist Visa (SETV). Responses suggest Vientiane, Laos as a popular option, and mention Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) as alternatives. Additionally, it is pointed out that Vientiane does not impose a financial requirement, making it a less complicated choice. Suggestions also include searching for local travel agencies to find the best options.

As this question is just asking for the cheapest option to get to a Thai Consulate, I suggest Google for travel agencies in your area.

KL, Vientiane or HCMC. You'll have to do your own googling (clue - you can fly to Udon Thani when going to VTE). VTE doesn't have a financial requirement, so is less hassle in that sense

Maybe, but we give on this page advice for a Thais Visa, we are not a travel agency who search the cheapest flight options to all Thai consulates in the area.
