What's the closest border to Pattaya for a quick in and out on a non o? I'll be riding a bike so no van service needed.

TLDR : Answer Summary
For a quick visa run on a NON-O visa from Pattaya, the closest borders are Ban Laem and Aranyaprathet. Ban Laem is about 2 hours away and is often mentioned as a preferred border crossing for those traveling by motorcycle. Alternatives include the border crossings to Cambodia such as Poi Pet and Hat Lek, though Ban Laem appears to be the most accessible for expats in Pattaya.

Aranyaprathet - Poi Pet
Ban Laem - Daung Lem
Ban Pakard - Phsar Prum
