You should do your 90-day report if you come back to Thailand with a re-entry permit.

Whether or not to be allowed to enter / re-enter Thailand is at the discretion of the IOs.

It's defo the IOs on the Thai side!

ubonjoe would often advise us to stay out of Thailand for a night or two before coming back to the Kingdom from the border bounce to stay on the safe side.

Hi All, I saw the post that someone made his 3rd visa-exempt entry into Thailand by land this calendar year. I came back to Thailand on my 2nd visa-exempt entry by land last week, and am planning to make a border bounce for my 3rd one later this year. I stayed in Thailand for only a week on my 1st one, though. Has anybody made their 3rd visa-exempt entry into Thailand by land recently? Thank you in advance!

That would depend upon the IO! Having lived in Thailand for almost 10 years on a Non-B, I went back to Thailand on my 1st visa-exemption this year and that by land, left and flew back to DMK 4 months later, when I got stopped by the IO, who started to ask me why I had had so many Thai stamps in my passport. I answered him that it was just because I had lived in Thailand on a Non-B for the last 10 years, but then I got taken to the office, where another officer that attended me was so rude and arrogant! All I had to do was fill in a form where I had to write the reason for visiting Thailand again, They let me in in the end, with nothing written or stamped in my passport except the entry stamp! I was never ever worried that I might be denied entry, though! No other passenger was at Passport Control when I got there after the toilet, so the IO, who seemed young and unprofessional to me, must of killed his time by acting bossy to me! Good luck!

Hi, First of all, where are you going to apply for a new Non-B? To Vientiane or Savannakhet in Laos? There was one time that I went all the way to Vientiane via NongKhai with a termination letter from my old school, whom I had cancel my WP. Yes, you should cancel your current Non-B and WP with your old school before applying for new ones with your new school!

1. Do a border bounce to Laos I don't know how much you'll have to pay for a Lao visa on arrival but it should be around 1,400B if it costs around US$40. 2. Get an extension 1,900B 3. Pay for your overstay when you fly out 1,500B (500B x 3 days) I hope you don't get caught on your way to the airport, though.

Thanks again for your info! I'm from a G7 country.

Thanks for your info! Does that mean that citizens of countries under bilateral agreement are entitled to unlimited visa-exempt entries like Brasil or Peru as well as Russia?

Thanks very much for all your comments/reports! I heard that Russian Passport Holders are allowed many visa-exempt entries even by land, though. Do you know what nationalities are eligible for them?

Hi All, Supposing that you're based in one of the neighbouring countries such as Cambodia or Laos, would you still be allowed to enter Thailand by land up to only twice per calendar year? That's what I'm curious to know about. Thank you in advance!

FYI, Bus #152 should still cost 5,000vnd (22cents), cheaper than bus #109.
