What are the consequences of multiple border runs and how can one stay longer in Thailand?

Matthew **********

Easy. Cheap flight in 90 days to neighbours capital. Check into a place for a week with the passport. Go to Thai Embassy. Apply for 90 days visa.

What are the best websites to buy plane tickets for visa runs to Vientiane, Laos?

Matthew **********

Jesus, are we serious here. You think there are websites set up which will sell you a flight which doesn't exist. And you have 100 travel agents very close to you. Wow.

What should you do if pressured for a bribe at a Thai immigration office?

Matthew **********

No. But you got something for your money. We learn how the world is not fair. It starts with the inequality of capitalism then influences everything else. Billions never pass through immigration for a holiday.

wrong. Eg, UK and Thailand have an agreement so there's no dual taxation. Many other nations do too. Thailand economy would collapse if they tried such tricks as all their foreign income would move to Philiphines or Vietnam.

Do a same day visa run to Malasia, from any of those destinations (including the islands) in the south , you'll see travel agents. For $50 return you'll be picked up first thing, taken to the border and back for late evening. Everyone in the minibus will be doing the same thing. A one day, cheap commitment. Not bad
