Hi, I hold a brazilian passport and haven't done any border run yet.

I actually tried to go with Bangkok Buddy for a border run but when I got to the meeting point instead of paying 3k baht as advertised on their website they wanted me to pay 7k because "Brazilians get 3 months stamp and it's more expensive" also implying it wasn't the company raising their price, it would be a bribe for the immigration officials...!

I was skeptical and thought they were trying to rip me off, so instead I booked a flight to KL, spent a week there and came back.

Now I'd like to try it again, my questions are:

Any input from people who are elegible for 3 months visa exempt?

Recommendations and tips for friendly borders to go on my own by bus or train, without a visa company? (i read here Mae Sai, any others?)

I have 5 back to back visa exempt entries since February 2019, I guess it's quite a few, so this should be my last attempt to entry Thailand.
