Popular Post DrJack54 Posted June 14 Popular Post Share Posted June 14 Would appear that your recent history in Thailand is extensive having already used two land border entries visa exempt in 2024 along with entry to Thailand via air prior? You are across the threads on this topic as you referenced CM. Indeed prior to covid when DMK and BKK had reports of refused entry visa exempt CM did not. Best bet is to consider a tourist visa or if over 50 a non O retirement or spend some time out of Thailand.. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuzie57 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If you want to fly out from Chiang Mai go to Luang Prabang in Laos. Great city and can fly direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at15 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Not a good idea, chiang mai immigration does not like frequent visitors to use visa exempt entries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be best off getting a tourist visa somewhere nearby (Vientiane would be the most obvious choice) and entering overland with your visa. Flying in after using up your land border visa exempt entries, probably in OUT-IN border bounce style, would be a risky move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easydoor Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Get a real visa. With your history it is possible they refuse you to come back again. But then you have a reason to complain and to write Thailand is a difficult country for tourists..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheFishman1 Posted June 14 Popular Post Share Posted June 14 Guy is asking for advice and where is the best place to do what he needs and I’m reading all the comments and they are really not what he’s asking your opinion on how long he’s been here and what he’s doing with Visa he would’ve asked that he’s just asking where is the best easiest place to do it and you think that people would just give an answer instead of expressing all their negative opinions.

Thanks! Id say a Bk Kl return . Immigration dont give a toss as long as you are within the rules. 2 overland a year and unlimited flights into Bkk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS the O/P said they are in CHIANG MAI 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! You say you're in Chiang Mai, so get on the inter-web and look for cheap round trip tickets, Viet Jet, Air Asia, etc Even if you burned both your 30 day entries by land (and took 30 day extensions on them too) you're unlikely to have any issue at all stamping in at CNX. Hands down it's the easiest airport to get in at. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIT He also said "safe." The safest option is to get a Tourist Visa at a Thai Consulate, and then return via land. The 2nd safest option is to get a Tourist Visa at a Thai Consulate, then return via Chiang Mai airport. The 3rd safest option would be to stay out of Thailand a month or two, and then try returning to Chaing Mai airport visa-exempt. In all cases, have 20K Baht worth of cash and printouts of a hotel-booking and a flight-out, booked within the permitted-stay time expected (60-days tourist-visa or 30-days visa-exempt). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai embassy in Hanoi won't give a tourist visa to someone coming straight from Thailand ("visa runners"). The Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur might, I don't know about their current policy.
