The best thing to do is ask a visa run / border run company that services that area. In retrospect, I would have moved the border run date up. But I imagine some borders would still be available for the out-in border hops. Because this would affect other migrant workers also who use the border hop method. Besides, how else will Thais satisfy their gambling urges. Edited March 19, 2020 by 4evermaat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at that specific border it`s quite usual that your passport goes to visit Myanmar, while you stay in LOS enjoying your coffee ???? Lets see, if they find special options there sooner or later.

They have a big incentive to find a way to keep the gravy train moving if they possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 All crossings to Myanmar are for all intents and purposes are closed unless you have a visa for entry. The company going to Kanchanaburi did not go today. They are still making runs to Ban Laem to Cambodia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
