  1. You can apparently go alone solo to Myanmar but its not safe as i understand and you should go with a guide or agency but if you still want to go solo you need 30000 Baht in cash in hand or in bank account that you can withdraw, return ticket to same country as your passport connected to TDAC ( everything have to match) and proof of accommodation for immigration to let you back in. They make it hard for you if you don't go with agency
  2. Yes Ranong. Ok thanks i just saw that Myawaddy-Mae Sot border is closed recently
  3. i hope i wont travel there and waste time, when where you there last time?
  4. I heard that all the Myanmar borders are close from Thailand now, is it any truth to that?
  5. so you pay 2000 before you they stamp you out from thailand or is it when you came back that you pay?
  6. nice thanks. the good thing about ranong is the 40usd you dont need to pay.
  7. yes its is all inclusive. i been in contact with 3 agents in pattaya the range is 7000-8000 baht. If you do it alone it will cost you around 2600-3900 baht from bangkok to nong khai and back (by land). transport from bkk to nong khai 200-500 baht. 40usd around 1400 baht to immigration in laos. 1000-2000 baht for thai immgration (depend on your visa,history and nationality passport ) to bounce back the same day. back to bkk 200-500 baht. some nationalists you have to pay up to 5000-8000 baht only for the immigration if you have long visa history in thailan, i dont know if its true or not, just what i heard
  8. if i arrive there by myself can i find them easy and they will help me?
  9. it cost around 2500 baht flight all around. visa agency service 2000-3000 baht
  10. reenter? Who do you pay the 2000 baht to? Visa agency? Is it true that there is couple of visa service agency near at the boat pier at Ranong that will make the border bounce for 2000 baht?
  11. I will do it, and I hope they let me back in the same day. I don't want to stay in Myanmar for 2–3 days it feels too risky. I’ve already done two border runs this year in Thailand, but I’ve talked to many visa agencies, and all of them told me there’s no longer any limit on border runs like before.
  12. oh so if you don't do same day return Malaysia is free entry?
  13. As i understan you pay only 10usd to cross to Myanmar at the checkpoint where laos and malaysia is 40-50 usd
  14. Yes i have a long history, but i was thinking to stay outside for 1-3 days before coming back. As i understand almost near all borders have visa service that you can pay extra to bounce back. Thanks!
  15. Hi everyone, I’m planning to do a border run from Thailand and I’m trying to figure out which specific checkpoint is the best for a smooth exit and re-entry into the country. I’m currently considering doing the run via: Laos Malaysia Myanmar But what I really want to know is: Which checkpoint is the most relaxed, safest, and tourist-friendly for a border run? Where are they least likely to question or deny re-entry back into Thailand? In your recent experience (2024–2025), which checkpoint do you recommend — and which ones should I avoid? I’m not planning on staying long outside, maybe 1 or 2 days — and back in without any drama. Would love to hear from anyone who’s done this recently and can recommend a specific border crossing (e.g. Nong Khai, Sadao, Mae Sai, etc.). Thanks in advance for the help! 🙏 Your advice will really help me avoid problems at the border.
  16. which on is for 6.5k? Do you have the name of the agency?
  17. Yes Vietnam is fine. Yes or i will go to the Ranong and make a border bounce at Myanmar border as i just learned you can do it. you are correct not under 50
  18. Thank you very much! 😀 Do you know which border they cross?
  19. I will have to fly there and check it out. I've been in Thailand for a long time using a mix of ED visas and several border runs. 6 days left to be exactly
  20. Border bounce. secure entry service that is when you arrive by air right?
