Hi all, an update as I did a visa run to Kanchanaburi today..IO's are most pleasant to deal with..In fact I had a chat to head IO about some tourists being denied entry at airports (mainly Don meaung) He told if a tourist has a valid visa the IO has no right to deny entry even if they use so called suspicion of that person working.As IO needs to have evidence...He did say to me quote "IO's at airports like to act like police for power trip" He said never have problems here if visa is valid no overstay..So I highly recommend for those who reside in BKk or even if you live somewhere else..Fly domestic in BKK stay a night or two and do a visa run from BKk to Kanchanaburi..You'll be back in BKK early evening for peace of mind..

hi

I did my run many times at that border.  and yes is a great place to do. and only 3 hrs from BKK

there is a big issue here also: they dont accept any muslim countries or muslim from this border. you need to get a visa from bangkok.. which you need to show a plane ticket ????

So this border is the very best option for the non-muslim ppl living around

 

BUT, your info is correct and wrong. Or the IO info. First it is correct that IO need evidence to reject you entering country.  Which is very very easy to find one. it is not correct that you CAN enter the country if you have any kind of visa. IO has full right to reject you at the border. thats why they are there.
