Why border run? If you have a dtv you don't need to leave for lunch.

@Chris ********

extensions done in Thailand are often more cumbersome than just popping out of the country and then back in.

Technically it would be possible to take the bus to Kuala Lumpur 😎

Why “obviously”?

Kuala Lumpur… you dont drive there from Thailand. Not within a day go and come back. That would be very inefficient and very expensive 😅 with a car you would cross the border and come back in northern malaysia…
