Guys who have to leave every 90 days is there a preferred destination

[VocalNeal]

Just curious as if I don't leave before then I have to go out at the end of May. In days of yore I have gone on the train to Laos but maybe, from BKK,  Cambodia is nearer and quicker? 

[Delight]

 It would help if you detailed your motive for the trip.

Is it the need to leave every 90 days as part of your Nom -immigrant visa.

Maye some other reason!

[ubonjoe]

No need to go to Laos to get a new 90 day entry from a multiple entry visa is what you want to get.

From Bangkok the nearest and best is th Ban Phu Nam Ron crossing in Kanchanaburi to Myanmar. Only a border pass is need so no full page visa sticker is needed.

After that the Ban Laem crossing to Cambodia is the nearest friendly crossing.

If you go just for the out-in, just use the closest border available (except aranyaprathet ;) they don’t like that )

When I was on the 90 day multiple entry, we went on short (3-7 days) holiday to different cities/ countries. Singapore/ Siem Reap/Phnom phen/Hong kong/ KL.

The good thing about it that we could book early as we always knew when we had to leave (89 days after coming back ;))

Wifey loved it, but I in the end got fed up and went for the immigration route. Haven’t left Thailand since then [emoji2]

Vietnam is cheapest, 1,500bht direct flight each way from CNX and a free 14 day VISA waiver (Brit) when I arrive.

China is also very cheap, 1,200bht to Changsa each way but the VISA costs 1,100bht (Brit).

And I also like Siam reap, flight to Bangkok (600bht) then bus from Morchit to Aranyaprathet (250bht), VISA $30 bus Poipet to Siam Reap ($7)

Green bus Chiang Mai to Mai Sai, (500bht), VISA $10.

Used to go to the Philippines as well, but the Air Tickets increased in price, so I crossed that off my list.

 

Loads of options, I usually stay over for a week and have a little holiday.

Anywhere except Sri Lanka.

[Briggsy]

I would not particularly recommend Tha Khaek (opposite Nakhon Phanom). In fact do the out-in and then travelling around Nakhon Phanom would be better. Avoid Beung Kan though.

[4evermaat]

To reiterate @MJCM you just use the nearest crossing, with perhaps the exception being Aranyaprathet / Poipet.  In Chumphon, either pier in Ranong is popular.   Some borders like Danok (Sadao) might require you stay overnight (no same day out-in, this may have changed)

 

But you must post where you are crossing from to get specifics on that area.   I assume you are referring to the border hopper having a ME non-immigrant visa as you said "every 90 days"

Safest place to go right now.. Always is after a bomb as the streets are swamped with police and Soldiers.

I saw all of SE Asia doing those 3-month runs from BKK for about 6 years. You can go cheap like Cambodia or Laos, or go expensive like S'pore. I enjoyed visiting all of them. Try and look for hotel/flight deals about a month in advance of when you need to go. 

[masuk]

I used to go by bus to the Burmese border, about 4 hours from Chiang Mai and in and out in a few minutes.  The duty free liquor store between Immigration posts has a good range, and tho some say most is fake, the ones I bought sure seemed the same ol' brew the airports sell at twice the price.

[scavenger]

In the summer and autumn months, I usually fly back to Canada or the US, for 4 to 5 weeks at a time, and get my new visa while I'm there (and thus the IOs can see that I do spend time in my home country...) 

 

At other times, I leave for 10 to 20 days at a time. I have gotten decent deals for Europe and New Zealand in the past years. South Korea is also not that expensive. As for the nearby countries, I'd like to repeat the OP's question but from a different angle: what I look for are places where I can relax, read and write, away from touts and the like, where I can enjoy a week or two being treated like a human being. Singapore and Hong Kong are okay, and I also liked Kuching, a little cheaper and with accessible national parks nearby. Last time, I spent two weeks in Yangon, and it was a pleasant surprise. Dirt cheap, plenty of parks and shade, good bookstores, large sidewalks and no otorcycles. An added bonus is that you can get the visa online and they won't put one of those ugly full-page stickers in your passport.  

 

Next winter, I'd like to spend some time by the sea, without being harassed by touts and all that crap, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Vietnam, Da nang?

No problem avoiding touts if you stay within the resort or hotel facilities in Bali, on the street they will chew your ears off. Penang. Langkawi.

Breaking news. There has just been, described as, a major gun battle with a few more bodies added to the total.

[simon43]

Avoid Beung Kan though.

 

Why??

No Lao visa on arrival is available there.

Thanks. I've been thinking of trying Langkawi. I much preferred Kuching to Penang  I have travelled around Vietnam 3 years ago, and I found the Vietnamese very unpleasant. The further north I went the worse it got.

People very nice in Bali but they are aggravating on the streets with the touts etc. It is also a crowded place (lots of Australian tourists and backpackers) and horrendously busy traffic wise. But a fancy resort, on the Beach, would be pleasant. Singapore, which you mentioned I like. HK, again too crowded.

I visited Bali 4 years ago. Some areas were more relaxing than others. I am not exactly the resort type, I like normal city life among locals who recognize Westerners as fellow human beings, as is easily done in Singapore, Kuching and Yangon. 

 

Also, has anyone here tried the online visa for Cambidia? With an evisa, do they still paste a full-page sticker in your passport?

Haven't been there for a very long time but loved it.

The small fact that a few days ago bombs were used in churches and hotels to kill a few hundred people including people from EU etc is enough to remove it from my 'favourite holiday destinations' list.

mfac.gov.kh for online visa for Cambodia was the good web site.

but now it seems to be https://www.evisa.gov.kh/.

many other scam web sites that take your money

but my credit card company refunded the money.

It works great. No sticker in your passport.

expensive though at $40.

You print it when they send their reply. Better to print two copies and keep one for return as it saves them searching through your PP looking for the big sticker.

Depends if you are looking for cheap booze, hotties for good boum-boum and good cheap quality food that won't give you the trickles immediately culture, nice temples to send back selfies to the Missus and a cosy climate for health reasons...Cambodia or Vietnam definately...????

I went to the Aranyaprathet crossing once a long time ago and never again.

Now the railways have been linked one would hope that there is a new border post established which may make life a bit easier.
