Visa Run

[logan]

Can anyone suggest the best way to travel to Aranyaprathet from Bangkok on a visa run.Is this the best option I now travel on a multiple entry non immigrant 'O'. Any advice is very welcome as this will be my first time.

Used this one last time and it was OK (Not the same border crossing?)

If you do first time visa run , suggest to use a visa run agency.

Price vary from THB 1,900.- to THB 2,000.-.

You can use the guys from On Nut as mentioned .

I tried both thaivisaservice and thaivisarun companies, they are good, chai dai. All go to Ban Laem border. There is another service on Kaosan road goes to Ban Laem I heard.

If I got it right you get another visa on arrival this way ... but for me Russian sitizen visa on arrival is only 15 days.... sucks big time ..

You got that wrong, LazyCat. The OP says he’s got a multiple-entry non-O visa. Therefore, as long as that visa is valid – and it is usually valid for one year from the date of issue – every time he enters Thailand he gets an entry stamp admitting him for 90 days.

I know that the term “visa run” can be confusing, because different people use it to mean different things.

All you need to do is get to the Cambodian border and cross.

Aranyaprathet is the closest to Bangkok.

The Cambodians will sting you for $20 (1000 baht) visa fee, to enter Cambodia,

and probably a little extra if you return the same day.

You can do it alone, or entrust yourself to a visa run company.

Actually it is very easy.

I go to Had Lek, near Trat. Convenient if you live in Pattaya, or that area.

Just go to Rama 4 Road (in between HSBC and Lumpini Park) on any day between 5 to 630am (under the pedestrian footbridge/walkway), and you can get on a bus going to that Cambodia border. About 200 to 400 hundred baht Round Trip.

It'l bring you to the border of Cambodia, and then you come back to BKK on same day.

However, you'd have to que by yourself in getting your Cambodian visa.

Not difficult if you ask me... but that's just my opinion. Others prefer to pay 700 baht more for the "VIP" service to have the bus company line up for them.
