are there any border run companies you would recommend before I Google them? Do I have to take my whole family on a border run or can I go on my own with their passports?

@Alistair *********

thanks really useful to hear the different options. What I am clear on now is that at the end of my 45 + 30 day extension period (around 14th Jan), I 100% have to leave the country and come back again to get another 45 days plus 30 days. Can this cycle continue on and on with the tourist visa system? Thailand immigration know it goes on but don’t mind it? I assume I have to take all of my family across the border even on a border run?

ok thanks for letting me know that. My kids are 14, 8, 8, 6 and 5? Can you answer my questions about Border Bounce please?

@Stuart ********

thanks. I have a wife and 5 children. Do I have to take them all with me to do a “border bounce”? How exactly does a border bounce work? I/we literally cross a border (e.g Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia) and then cross straight back into Thailand same day?
