Hi , I arrived in Thailand on a 60day E Visa , August 18th , I have been to my local Immigration Office and gained a thirty day extension which allows me to remain until 16-11-24 , as long as it’s before 16th can I leave Thailand by land boarder to Loas , return the same day and gain another 60days , also if yes are these 60days from the 16th or from the day I do the boarder run ?? TIA…

Hello all,

My wife and I have one way tickets to Bangkok from the UK next week we will be entering Thailand under a 30 day visa exemption, we will be travelling north through Thailand to the Laos border, not sure how long we will take to get there - Around 10 days I guess but it is flexible.

We will be travelling light and haven't booked onward travel, we intend to take the slow boat when we get into Laos from Huay Xai onwards.

There is no option to buy a ticket for the public boat online which would prove onward travel, does this pose a risk for boarding the flight with Thai Airways? If so, any advice on workarounds?

Before posting I have read various posts and will phone the Thai Airways next week to enquire further.

I am looking at onwardflights.com as a backup if that is actually required.

Any advice very much appreciated.

Could anyone advise me? I have 1 land border run I can use this year. I have been here since November. I came on a tourist visa and have extended that to get 90 days. Plus, I used an agency to go to Cambodia and back by land to get 30 days, which I have extended again. My question is: I plan to go to the Philippines once this finishes on March 23rd for 1 month, and I plan to come back again via a land border around April 23rd. I know Don Mueang airport won’t be the best option. What country and border is best to come back through into Thailand. I plan to get a 6-month education visa once I arrive. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! I entered Thailand with VISA-free with Taiwanese passport, I thought I can extend 30days but the immigration said they can only give me 7 days stamp due to my nationality, so I did not get it. And it will expire tomorrow.

I wonder if I do a one day border run from Chiangmai-Laos tmr, is it possible for me to get another 30days? ❗️

ATTENTION MEMBERS: Land border closures

The Lao borders are open like normal

The Cambodian borders are open like normal BUT we suggest you do NOT bounce out and back on your own (do so at your own risk)

This is the update on Burma;

The Mae Sai / Tachileik border with Burma in Chiang Rai is closed (they said for a week). The Mae Sot / Myawaddy border with Burma in Tak is closed as well.

If you want to border bounce you can use the two borders with Lao in Chiang Rai province; Chiang Saen / Special Economic Zone <- where you cross in and out of Lao by boat across the Mekong or the Chiang Khong / Huay Xai border <- where you cross by bridge.

Also the Phu Nam Ron / Htee Khee border with Burma in Kanachanaburi is still not open for foreigners to exit/re-enter

At this time he only Burma border open is the Ranong / Kawthaung.

This is provided as an announcement only. We are not going to let commenting on the post.

You want to border bounce, post on a f/b group related to where you stay in thailand and ask. Believe me you're not the only foreigner in your area who needs/wants to bounce out and back..

Hi all,

I have a 1 year multi non o visa, my 90days is going to end soon, so my question is, which land boarder is the nearest to me (I am in bangkok) so i can drive there and do it myself, just goes out and come back in again

Thanks alot

Anyone ever taken a private car from Chiang Mai to Laos border for visa run?

Hello beautiful people,

I hope to get an answer from Tod or James.

Can I use my last border bounce (multiple visa that expires on March 4) by going to Cambodia border, or I have to go to Laos?

My only border bounce with this multiple visa was on Dec 20, 2022.

Thank you.

EDIT: solved , since Maynmar border is closed

I'm in Chiang Rai and I want to do a border bounce. Should I go to Myanmar (Tachileik) or Laos (Chiang Khong)? EU passport . thanks

Hi.

Has anyone done a border bounce at Chiang Khong border with Laos in the North on foot?

I mean, parking the car/bike on Thai side and walking over? Is that possible?

Hoping Tod Daniels sees this 😅
