Mae Sai border bounce

Featured Replies

I am currently in Chiang Rai on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (First entry) I need to do a border bounce in about 2 weeks.  I've done this numerous times in the past (pre covid).  As I understand Mae Sai is open for business now.  True?  What concerns me is that I thought I read on some forum that you can't do a border bounce at a land border on a e-visa (mine is an e-visa issued at LA).  Anyone heard of this?

You can do a border bounce there. Using a valid eVisa at a land border isn't a problem, there's no such restriction.

Thanks.  I assume it's valid, got me in the country in the first place.  How does one get an invalid e-visa?

Sorry that was just a dig at another recent topic on here, where a poster wrote that he attempted to re-enter Thailand with an expired eVisa.

Please follow up with a report how it goes at Mai Sai. It was the very best border bounce location pre-covid. No BS. 

Good luck.

Yes.  In the past is was very smooth.  The Myanmar IO's would even ask if I was going to do a "turn around" or wanted to do some shopping.  I almost looked forward to it.  My wife loves going for the shopping on Thai side.

I did this exact bounce with METV eVisa a few months ago.  Link to my post but don’t think you need anything more than printout of eVisa, passport and 500baht.
