Popular Post Wake Up Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hello I have an O-A visa that has an enter by date of March 15, 2022. I want to get another year so I need to leave the country and come back on March 13 or 14. what is your recommendation for a cheap one day in and out of Thailand trip leaving Bangkok and returning to Bangkok?. I do not want to spend the night out of Thailand unless absolutely required. I am assuming no quarantine in Thailand in March and no covid test 72 hours before arrival. If any of those requirements are in force in March 2022 I will fly back to the USA in April 2022 before my permit to stay expires. Spend a few months in USA and obtain another O-A visa in USA. Don’t want to go to CW and don’t want to deposit 800 k in Thailand bank. any cheap one day bus or plane trips anyone has taken before Covid so that I can think about this issue in February and make some plans. Remember some guys used to go to Lao or Cambodia for border runs but I have never actually experienced that before. Take care Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I cannot predict what will be needed for here here or any other country in March of next year. There will probably will be some border crossings open by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poyai111 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Laos is highly recommended but one night's stay is required. Submit passport and application on the first day and pick it up the next. Done and dusted! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a non O-A he can obtain 12 month stamp upon reentry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Wait until february and ask again, nobody here can predict the situation in a few months 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I did my border run ( to gain my 2nd year from OA ) back in Sept 2017 at Ban Phu Nam Ron crossing , 1hr west of Kanchanaburi . Enter Myanmar, get stamp and return back to border , takes less than 30 minutes and cost around 1000 baht. I will be looking there again to kill my OA if possible in light of the increase in insurance requirement. Of course, this is all irrelevant under the current situation and as stated above by @jackdd wait until February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I realize you want to fly but It all depends where you live now if you want to make a land crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visarunner Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 www.thaivisaservice.com will surely make border runs again, once the border around bangkok start to open and allow stamp out/in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they will. So when are the borders opening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care Thanks Assuming next year border crossings are fully open, then a bus trip east from Bangkok to Cambodia is your best bet, use the Aranyaprathet border crossing point. Easily a day trip from BKK. Get the Cambodia entry permit at the office which is sited there, I think 1,000 baht then cross over and return [small fee for the Thai officer at the gate] get your re-entry stamp. However you must keep an eye on Thai restrictions on re-entry next year. Double vaxxed for sure and possibly the PCR test will still be required?

Exactly the information I need assuming border opening and Thai restrictions. One day bus trip would be great. Thank you. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
