I have a border bounce coming up shortly. Phuket to KL return same day. On arrival at KL Airport is it advisable to get stamped in then stamped out again or is it ok to just exit the aircraft on arrival into KL, look for the gate of the departure flight back to Phuket and just go to that departure gate and wait thus bypassing their onerous Immigration. TIA.👌

6O day stamp done via a border bounce after 2 land entries with 30 day stamps + extensions this year.

No issues or questions.

Are the border bounces by land unlimited now !

Flew into Thailand 5/30 /24 went to Immigration 6/27 / 24 in Sisaket got a 30 day extension officer there said i could do a border bounce to Laos and get another 30 days . He also said at end of that 30 days I could return to Sisaket for one more 30 day extension. Reason was only one border crossing all other entry was at airports. My understanding was 90 days max , his answer would give me 120. Don’t want to do an overstay and have. Flexible air tickets I need to change if I’m staying. Anyone have the right answer? TIA🙏🏻

Take care, some agents doesn't do borderbounces/visa runs around Songkran, so plan well.

I had to rebook my flight (2850 baht gone) because they said in March he would have it on the 12th :(

I was hoping to spend 6 months in Thailand this year. As I understand it, you can do two border bounces per year to achieve this. I wanted to spend two months in the South, and four in the North. Unfortunately, I messed it up, did a border run in the South, but only stayed for a week before leaving. Then had to do an emergency border bounce from Vietnam to BKK, to extend my stay in Vietnam, and was only in BKK for a couple of hours. So I've already technically entered on Visa exempt twice this year. How likely will I run into trouble if I try to enter Chiang Mai next month, and bounce once from Chiang Mai? Would it matter if the entries are in different passports? The first two are in one passport and the other is in another.

Has anyone tried a third visa run by land before? Is it left to the discretion of the immigration officer?

Any one got any news about Ranong/ Kawthong or Andaman club border crossing? Have they re opened for border bounces yet?

Seasons Greetings,

I see a lot of posts about border bounces, but never see anything about people just flying in and flying out.

Has anyone done recent visa runs via flight and what's the go? Smooth like butter?

Why do so many folks take a bus ten hours to do it?

PLEASE do not resurrect 2 year old threads.

Just ask your question.

ALL the land borders with Burma are CLOSED to foreigners getting in and out of the country for "border bounces"

You wanna border bounce by land you do it with Cambodia, Lao, or Malaysia
