I messaged you but you didn't read it :/

Post your question on a Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai f/b group. The people in those groups bounce out and back in at Mae Sai and can give you all the advice you need.

Sorry this page is for Thai visa advice. Without any information it is impossible to give advice and how much for a border run and what currency you have to use in Thailand are not visa related.

You can not buy a visa at the Mai Sea border. And it all depends on what the country of origin of your passport is and how many times you did a border run this year to get a Visa Exempt Entry and on your current stay.
