wannabeamonk Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hello internet friends, I am about to ordain as a monk and need to obtain a 45 day visa exemption before I switch to monk visa. I am currently on a 30 day exemption which has been extended 30 days (entered through Bangkok airport). What is the quickest and easiest way to get a 45 day exemption? I have not heard good things about the poi pet visa run which is closest? Are nongkhai and savanakhet open? Can I pop over and come back that day? Or easiest to Goto Bangkok and fly to Cambodia or Vientiane? Will immigration in Bangkok be suspect on me if I come back the same day or best to leave the country for a few days? Thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and can bounce and reenter same day. Depending on your location personally I would prefer Nong Khai option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think may have read your posts previously about your pathway to monk. Is it non R? In any event if you complete that journey I'm sure there would be some interested in report regarding your journey.

Bigz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 You could try Chong Chom/O'smach border crossing in Surin province. It's a small rather quiet and easy border. There used to be mini buses running from Surin bus station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets switched after the ordination with lots of signatures for various senior monks. Will report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
