you'd have to live and attend school in phuket I believe, not positive. But from what hear the success rate is 100% unlike flying to Saigon or Vientiane
Thomas Robert Peter Ashworth I haven't done it, only across the bridge and back. But from what I read if you want to go further than the city you'll need to pay for a bigger visa. I guess maybe there's other check points or possibly it's a online thing but Im really not sure, just what I've read and heard. I've been there 3 times for a land crossing tho and its definitely not $50 to enter
