Hi everyone, I know this probably gets asked a fair bit so feel free to direct me to a post if it's already answered here.
My current visa exemption extension expires tomorrow and I plan to go from Kai Bae to Cambodia and back again on the same day. To save hassle, I was planning to just take a coach service but there aren't (at least currently) enough people so it seems the coach will not depart tomorrow.
So I was wondering 1 things:
1. I got quoted 3500 baht for a private car to do the journey. Would anyone else who needs to do a border run be interested in sharing that and splitting the cost? And/or do you know anyone who would do it cheaper.
2. The 2nd option is just to do the whole thing via sobgthaew and public transport. This is a bit less ideal as, currently, it can be hard to get a sobgthaew departing in a timely manner due to low demand. Also, I have heard that doing it by public bus can be quite stressful due to having to deal with potential scammers etc around the border. If I do it this way, does anyone have a reliable link for bus times etc so I can make a feasible plan about the time I would need to leave Kai Bae? Previous experience has shown me that it can be hard to get accurate information. Really appreciate any guidance, thanks!
