Visa Runs From Korat Area

[POMPOOEYMAN]

At the moment it is taking me a 14 hour round trip in a minibus to do my visa runs.

Korat airport has been shut for 2 years now.

Has anyone any ideas or suggestions as to make these runs quicker and more pleasureable.

Thanks POMPOOEYMAN

There is a border post near Surin, sorry can't remeber the name.

It is not used much so you will get a quick turnaround.

Not sure about transport to get there.

Those that I know have used it have gone in their own cars.
