Ofc it's not real. A lot of us here have been here 10+ years mostly on tourist visa and visa exempt entry. I'm 37, now married, but for a good 8 years I was doing border bounce and airport bounce.

Yes, you can do 2 border visa exempt entry in 2024! The general rule in here is to be careful of the fearmongering. Some old foreigners in here are working on either outdated info or haven't done a border run in many many years. Their goal is to police these group and patronize people rather than to give accurate info.

There are also regular poster that are or work for visa company who will spread the same bad info to get some customers. The general rule for border run is to avoid Poipet, most other borders are easy going, especially Laos (Nong Khai and Mukdahan being the 2 easiest). You won't need any of the 3 proof of at these two Laos border, and won't even get questioned.

That's extortion, but Stuart is correct overall.

Yep, this went as I told you it would. This group use to be great at the beginning. I was here when it only had 200 members. This group was formed because some of us were fed up by the bigger Thai Visa group lack of flexibility. But now, it's getting too similar to the bigger group. A lot of misinformation, fear mongering, etc, is spread everyday here. Difficult for the newb to get correct info when half of the advice are hearsay or "opinions" rather than factual information.

I am giving accurate information, whether you like it or not is not helping to OP.

I would love to be proven wrong, but you didn't provide anything more than your opinion. Factual information is what matter, you don't have any.
