Hello Folks,
Looking to do a second Mae Sai Border Run this Sunday. Seeking some feedback and experience.
1. March - visited Phuket via flight for a short stay and left to Cambodia.
2. May 7 - flew into Chiang Mai (30 days stamp)
3. June 6 - first border run at Mae Sai (30 days)
4. July 5 - extended at Chiang Mai immigration (30 days)
Aware that there are two border crossings permitted per year. I don’t plan on staying in Thailand for too long. Currently at a retreat and plan to “check out” and leave around Aug 20th. If I knew my stay would be this long intially, would’ve just applied for a proper visa at Thai embassy.
What can I prepare for to minimize any issues at the second border crossing come this Sunday?
a. Bring paperwork from the retreat
b. Grab 20,000B in cash
c. Have a return flight?
Thank you in advance, wonderful people 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is planning to do a second border run at Mae Sai and seeks advice on how to prepare for the process. They are aware of the rules regarding border crossings in Thailand and want to ensure that they have everything in order to minimize any issues. The comments suggest that as long as the user hasn't used up two 30-day visa exempt entries by land this year, they should be fine with just their passport at Mae Sai immigration.
