I am going to have to do a border run to further process my based-on-retirement non-o visa. (It took longer than expected to get my funds transfers from home country).
The lady helping me does not speak English so well, so I don't understand specifically she said. But I think she is telling me that for 3200 THB, a mini-bus can come pick me up at my residence in Pattaya and drop me off at the Cambodian border (somewhere nearTrat), wherein I can: 1) stamp out of Thailand, 2) into Cambodia with Visa on Arrival, 3) stamp back out of Cambodia, 4) get a Thai Visa Exempt to get back into Thailand, and 5) they will drive me back to the same Pattaya location. All in the same day.
So I assume it is one of these borders crossings? I showed her the latter of the two "quoted" crossings on google maps, and she said yes that's the one. But she still seemed a little uncertain. It was still a little bit unclear what she was explaining.
So, I am just trying to confirm here. It is going to be possible to do this? Stamp out of Thailand, get Cambodia visa, then stamp back in on Thailand Visa Exempt (with passport that is on the official list able to get the Visa Exempts, and years of validity remaining on the passport.), and back to Pattaya on the same day? She seems so sure about it!
