Just transfer 40k every month. That's what the smart people do.

@Randy *******

Not really. Why do you do that? I've got buddies on 12-month "married to Thai" visas. Just one visit to Immigration every twelve months to extend. No border bounce required.

Get a REAL visa is one option

Border bounce bus heading to Poiphet

Mate absolutely. Wat Sirindhorn is a must see as well. And because Ubon is far flung from the Bangkok/Phuket group, it makes common sense to explore the area in conjunction with a border bounce. A buddy of mine went out that way a few years ago, specifically for a bounce, explored the area and ended up finding a lady who would eventually become his wife (so I guess there's some downsides 🤣🤣🤣)

@James ********

Well you could say don't forget the money for the airfare, car rental, hotel, food etc but doesn't common sense prevail?

At Chong Mek the Thai immigration will tell you before you leave if you won't be re-admitted. This is not Poiphet

Enjoy where you live. Fly to Ubon Ratchathani. Hire a car for a few days. Drive out to the Mekong River, visit Pha Taem National Park at 4.00am to see the first sunrays hit Thailand, visit Khong Chiam to see the two-coloured river where the Mun and Mekong meet. Take a few days to enjoy great food and cheap accommodation. Then visit the border market at Chong Mek before walking through the crazy tunnel under the car park into Laos. Have a coffee and pick up some duty free wine before wandering back through the tunnel into Thailand to get a new stamp. Can never understand why people behave like frightened rats scampering to the border and back, instead of savouring many things otherwise missed.

Don't need an agent. Done it three times in six years for my lady. Trendy building for the biometrics

@Lincoln ******

Yeah, you only have to mention that Taxi fares are going up 20 baht and the broke ones will start wailing! 😆
