Hi I'm looking for advice on a border run from khao lak through ranong. Looking for any info route/cost etc. I've been quoted 1800bht for a company booking but this seems high but not sure how much you would save navigating alone.

Grateful for any help/info

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on conducting a border run from Khao Lak to Ranong, inquiring about routes, costs, and other relevant information. A quoted price of 1800 baht for a company booking is questioned for being high, with replies indicating that visa fees are around 1000 baht, and that using local transportation or options like the Andaman Club pier could be more cost-effective.
