Thank you for your post! Sometimes Air Asia shows flights from HHQ via Chiang mai to DMK or BKK ????. I really hoped i was wrong but the only (direct) flight left from HHQ is to Chiang Mai. https://www.airasia.com/flights/search/?origin=HHQ&destination=DMK&departDate=29/10/2022&tripType=O&adult=2&child=0&infant=0&locale=en-gb&currency=MYR&ule=true&cabinClass=economy&uce=true&promoCode=&type=bundled&airlineProfile=k,g

According to this website the only route left is to chiang mai from HHQ: https://www.flightconnections.com/flights-from-hua-hin-hhq

They are blocking the uptake of flight connections not the airport itself I guess. It is not understandable that there is no connection between Hua Hin and BKK for example. They even extended the runway in HHQ. This should be a highly profitable route as the train takes 5 Hours and taxi 2.5 to 3 hours. From the outside this looks to me like the taxi problem in Phuket where incumbents feel happy the way things are.

I think there are some shenanigans going on that government is actively or passively blocking the development of HHQ and other small airports. In europe and US you have tons of small airport. Using an agent is a grey area that I do not like to enter and besides takes time as well. Will wait till december and then decide. Your passive agressive tone is not nice.

Apparently you do not even read your own posts: You stated "You are really over playing the privilege/inconvenience card. " "Stop complaining" etc. It is obvious that if you spend a lot of money in a country you should be able to do an easy borderrun from a major city such as Hua Hin. I said nothing else. But the sad facts are the facts you are right about them.

Apparently you are used to being treated badly, that is your problem not mine. If I spend several thousand EUR per month in a country I at least expect something else. BTW your post is not helpful at all with the topic of a visa run at hand so pls stop posting in this thread and annoy someone else, much obliged.

Main problem is that HHQ currently has no flights at all besides Chiang Mai.

I fully agree very inconvenient! The situation for visa runs from HH is a disgrace.

Other option would be to go to cambodia as I understand borders should be open.

Thanks for you post! Bus to Malaysia is at least a 10 hours ride one way that is out of the question for me as I will not sit 10 hours in a minibus or car . I rather take a plane from BKK. Still hope that Hua Hin gets back a flight to Udon Thani so that I can go to Laos or HH Airport gets an international flight. Any ideas if maybe border to Kanchanaburi will be reopened? Visa run situation is a disaster for all HH residents. Thanks!

It does not make sense to spend 3 days to get all the documents, open bank account go to immigration, lose money in currency conversion etc for an externsion of stay , that is why I stated clearly in my OP I will not go for an externsion of stay ????

Thanks Joe! I was not aware that ALL crossings to Myanmar are closed. Train to Malaysia is 14 Hours and was not on my radar but this is even longer then flying out of BKK, so I guess I have to via BKK. My E OA visa (issued by consulate) is still valid until end of Dec 2022 for another entry, so a quick hop would suffice I understand to get another year out of the visa. My health insurance is valid for 4 more years. Is there any way to extend 45 days without a border run? I will maybe wait until end of December if they reopen the land border at least at kanchanaburi or if flights come up from HH. Another option was flying from HH to Udon Thani but apparently those flights are cancelled as well to my surprise.

I just realised how lucky I was. My doctor send me back the health certificate by mail without seeing me in person. Maybe you should have tried another doctor that does not test for stuff that does not exist in the UK/western world. Anyway good luck. I got my OA visa approved within 10 days but had to call them. I guess sometimes they wait so that the visa date is close to your flight date.

My multiple OA Visa lasts until Jan 23 and I would like to stay until March or April. 1. What is the shortest option I have travel time wise? Spending 2 times 3 Hours in the cab to BKK and flying out is not fun, at least not for me. Pls no comments on how nice travel is etc... ???? 2. Hua Hin Airport has stopped servicing internatinal destinations and is only flying to China Mai to my understanding. Correct? 3. All nearby borders border checkpoints to Myanmar (3 Pagoda and PKK) are not for foreigners. Correct? So my current guess is I have to go to Kanchanaburi. Which organisers are recommended? I understand 4 hrs one way trip. For reentry to Thailand I need the proof of health insurance and my eVisa printed out. Are any other documents needed? Can I extend the visa 45 days at immigration? I am not looking for a complete extension of stay, as I do not have a bank account in TH etc. Thanks!

Is there a photocopy shop close to Blueport immigration. Can't find anything online and from my memory I cannot recall having seen one. Thanks!
