ORIGINAL POSTERHow is the situation with border run at Wang Kelian? Can i return the same day, anyone experienced difficulties there lately?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The situation at the Wang Kelian border for visa runs appears to be generally smooth at the moment. One user reported no problems during their recent visit, while another suggested using a Visarun Agent for a safe and efficient trip, specifically referencing the nearby Padang Besar as an alternative.

2000 THB or stay in Malaysia 1-2 nights . . . and keep in mind, in case you have entered Thailand visa-exempt and intend to bounce for a second time, be prepared to get asked for the three proofs (accomodation, cash, onward travel)Reply to

you mean the border at Padang Besar? You can do a border bounce there, but please use a "Visarun Agent" to get you there and back safely. Don't try that by yourself
