Yes drive to a land border crossing or get a taxi or bus . Whichever works.

Cross the border on foot or boat or bus. A rented car won't be allowed to leave.

Check which border is most convenient and ask again . Some borders sound a bit more faff than others.

My Mrs did a laos crossing a few days ago . Boat in , 50 mins processing, boat back all done .

Worth looking for a border run company in what ever place you plan on being in as they will know if 1 border is better than another for a hassle free run 👍

If what ever country you come from you get 30 days visa exempt entry.

Then yes. 30 days on arrival, 30 day extension for 1900 baht.

Then do a border bounce to start again with another 30 days + another 30 extension if you want.

You don't have to fly out just leave the country and come back in .

@Toobah ****

this was in Pai Toobah. I don't know if it's all Bangkok banks that require 2 forms of id but my friend said they were told it was a new rule . I opened one around 9 months ago at the same branch and it was pretty straight forward. Passport, resident certificate and money done on a stv 90 day visa .

A friend's mum got one a couple of months ago from Bangkok Bank. They said she needed 2 forms of id now due to a rule change.

Having no drivers license she got an id card sent from home .

Passport, 2nd form of id and a visa waiver .

@Nick ********

. Only Chiang Mai and Mae Hong son . I think in Bangkok you can't get a resident cert without a proper visa .

Yes 👍

@Luc ***********

I've got one but they didn't ask for it

I've not bought second hand yet , only from a dealer . All I needed was a resident certificate and a passport.

Honda bigwing sorted everything else .

Yep 🙁Had an offer on my currant house but buyer is waiting on a buyer for theirs so who knows how long thats going to take. hoping its all done for xmas as Ive already bought a house in Thailand and just want to go.

Chances of you selling and completing all the bollox paperwork in 3 months is very slim. Last UK house I sold was a no chain cash buyer. took around 6 months with the solicitors etc . No idea why it took that long but it did .
