it does but I think it all Cambodian crossings nowJeremy ********
Can you still do Visa runs? I paid an agent an exorbitant amount of money so I can get my 4th visa exempt Stamp in a row, now what am I going to do?

OK, but with your history I'd suggest you contact one of the "fast track" companies that can ease the entry back into Thailand or you run have a high chance of being refused entry. Why not apply for a proper visa while in Dubai? Maybe a DTV if not old enough for a retirement visa?Jeremy ********
@John ******
I’ll go shoppingJohn *******
@Jeremy *******
why Dubai? You can still fly to CambodiaJeremy ********

don't go on overstay. A really bad ideaJohn *******
@Jeremy *******
all Cambodian - Thai borders are closed. Things are only escalating day by day, so this will be awhile. Cambodia has banned all Thai TV shows and movies, cut electricity and oil coming from Thailand and all other Thai imports.Jeremy ********
@John *********
but I’ll be on overstay soon so that’s just more money I’m losingJohn **********
OP@Jeremy *******
suggest you speak to the visa run company you already engaged with and see what they say. Who knows how long Cambodian borders will remain closed but it seems to be escalating to meJeremy ********
@John *********
this is why I’m scaredJohn **********
OP@Jeremy *******
Laos and Malaysia are your options by yourself. The visa run company will take you wherever they can get you out and back in. With your history you'd be foolish to try it yourselfJohn **********
OP@Jeremy *******
depends where they're running to I guess. The graphic talks about the Sa Kaeo borders. Some others are also closed but I don't know if it applies to allJeremy ********
@John *********
but they tell me they only have so many plugs at the border so if I want to go to another one it’s another ฿8kJohn **********
