Do you need to buy a package or can you just get an empty SIM card at the AIS shop in the airport?

Carsten ************

The SIM always comes with a small load. You can choose/ change the package as you want at any phone shop or Tops market. 7/eleven and AIS got divorced many years ago.

What are the best and cost-effective options for a visa run from Bangkok?

Carsten ************

@Guillaume ***************

yes, but check the Embassy Website for holidays and opening hours. They open only for 1-2 hours in the morning to drop your docs.

Check the requirements. Proof of flight in and out of Thailand, proof of funds and accommodation.

@Guillaume ***************

you would get a 30 day stamp (visa exempt). A TR gives you 60 days.

What are the best and cost-effective options for a visa run from Bangkok?

Carsten ************

1. With the night bus to Nong Khai/ Vientiane for a TR. You will need to book an appointment.

2. VietAir to Phnom Penh for a TR. No appointment necessary, but 3 working days processing time.

Both you may extend another 30 days.

Both cities are worth to visit. Another option is a border bounce. Not all people using these vans return alive.

@David **********

there's nothing wrong with the rates at xchange kiosks in tourist areas, as there is competition. TT or Superrich are probably the best choices.
