What van service can I use for a visa run to Cambodia from Thailand, and what are the costs involved?
Hi everyone. I know this has already been discussed but it would be difficult to sort it out, therefore I ask again (sorry for that).
I'm on METV and need to leave TH on or before the 22nd of October (Sunday) to renew my stay. I know there is a company that organizes visa runs by van to Cambodia, starting from Tesco Lotus Onnut early in the morning and coming back the same evening. Do you know its name and the cost pls?
Thank you in advance!

It might be Thai Visa Service.
I heard other services leaving near there as well but don't know names.
Another choice is this Bangkok Buddy, leaving from Asoke.

it's thaivisaservice.com. you must be there by 3am nowadays as they leave really early. just go to the onnut tesco lotus carpark & you will see a van / driver just ask & confirm. like i mentioned earlier you must be there early coz they will depart early if they have enough passengers & according to the driver nowadays normally only 1 van / second van will only come if they have the required number otherwise if the you can't take the first one, you probably might have to come back the next day

the last time I went only back at onnut after 4.30pm coz left late later than usual & at ban laem some idiot wandered off delaying our return

thx, but let's say with normal traffic, is it possible to be back in the early afternoon?Frank ******
@Francesco *********
..... depends on what time the van leaves from onnut whether it will be jam or not on the way backFrancesco **********
OP@Amornrat *********
one more thing i need to know. at what time should we be back in bkk?Francesco **********
OP@Amornrat *********
ok thank you.Jason ******
@Frank *****
Thanks. Good to discover new options for me to do my visa renewals in the future. Will do the land visa exempt soon as my current extension is about to expire, and then when that's up, do the tourist visa service to Vientiane.Frank ******
@Lopez ****
if you haven't utilised visa exempt at all then you can try - 20k baht / 1 passport photo / be at Tesco lotus car park at around 3am onwards daily. the driver will bring you go & back. at bam laem just follow your fellow passengers on what they doAmornrat **********
@Francesco *********
we still go every day, 04:00am is OK, not too many people anymore. Just passport and one picture (no show ticket or 20k). ThanksFrancesco **********
OP@Amornrat *********
I've just checked. in 2017 i entered thailand only once visa exempt for 30 days. as i said i'm on METV now, don't i need to bring anything with me? i mean, 20k thb, copy of my leasing contract, proof of exit (i have a flight ticket back to switzerland mid of november)?and can u also tell me please: do u start from tesco lotus every day at 3am? at what time are we supposed to be back? thank u!!
Jason ******
Frank Chew yes for visa exempt, would i be able to use this service or is it only for METV? I used up a few SETV already, but i havent used my visa exempt for land borders yet and was wondering if i can take advantage of that before applying for another tourist visa.
Amornrat **********
There is no issue at Ban Laem border if you have a METV. Even for regular 30 day visa exempt no problem, as long not more than two.
Francesco **********
OP@Frank *****
yes i will ;-) thx!Frank ******
if you have tourist visa should be an issue but just bring along your travel plan hotel bookings & 20k just in case
Francesco **********
OP@Lopez ****
what do u mean?? i used my 2 visa exempt entries this year but now i am on METV, therefore i hope it's not a problem at all, is it?Frank ******
@Lopez ****
you visa exempt ?Jason ******
the cambodia option is just exit the thai border and immediately re-enter using one of the two allowed land borders you get for the year? so the cambodia package is only if you havent already gotten 2 land border exempts?
Frank ******
welcome

OPthank you very much!! i'll contact them in this case!! thx a lot :-)
