Visa exempt is now choice fly to KUL and back ($60 single flight),but if take a SETV is easy, consider to take one.

vientiane has full of appointment and in famous of generous approve visa.

thanks for your reply.

Thanks, if we use a plane do visa run, how many days we spent at other country at least?entry bkk/dmk or cnx?

Is chiang mai air port a friendly air port that I can leave and enter in same day or next day?

thanks,i found it.is HCMC is a friendly consulate?leave thailand and immidiatly go to HCMC,is that acceptable by consulate?

thanks for your replay,but I'm not found the "special condition" text. fly to savannakhet is a litte bit expensive at about $172 single fly per person.

fly to HCMC is different to vientiane?for visa exempt? no direct flight from hcmc to CM,so we also need to pass unfriendly BKK or DMK customs?

My mother and I are currently living in Chiang Mai. Our 30-day tourist visa extension will expire on April 12th. This is our first time entering Thailand in 7 years. We are seeking a border run or a new tourist visa. We are Chinese nationals. The Thai embassy in Vientiane, which is relatively easy to obtain a tourist visa from, is fully booked until April 25th. The plan is to fly there directly, which costs less than $100 per person, stay for 3-4 days, then enter Udon Thani by land and fly back to Chiang Mai, which is also less than $100 per person. However, we don't want to wait in Vientiane for as long as 15 days (visa processing takes 2 working days). Other embassies seem to be farther away, and it's unclear if they are similar. We have considered going to Chiang Khong and Huay Xai border for a border run, but my mother gets car sick and is almost 70 years old, so she may not be able to endure the 5.5-hour car ride. Are there any other border run options or ways to obtain a new visa with a price relatively close to or not exceeding $120 per person that we can consider?
