Hi everyone (UK)...looking for a bit of forward planning for myself as not going to Thailand till December....Please can anyone advise me on what to do and where to go/stay on a border crossing visa run as never done one before... I stay in Nam Yuen near Ubon Ratchathani and see there is a border crossing near-by, Also is it ok to take my Thai girlfriend with me- Probably go on her motorbike (has anyone done this before?) Thank you in advance...

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on planning a border crossing visa run from Nam Yuen, near Ubon Ratchathani, as they prepare for their trip to Thailand in December. They wonder about the process of the visa run, where to go and stay, and whether they can bring their Thai girlfriend along on a motorbike. Comments suggest considerations like the necessity of a TM30 form for their girlfriend's residence and mention Mukdahan as a possible crossing point. Additionally, there are suggestions to look into visa options that might be more suitable given the potential for changes by December.

I was under the impression Bob that the trip visa I get in the UK was just 60 days and a border trip was needed for another 30 days... someone said that you don’t need a border run, only to go to an immigration office to extend... but I cannot find that stated on the Embassy info... just got to be sure...
