DTV Border Bounce from Pattaya via van - 5,700 baht. Why are DTV border bounces more costly?

[JoseThailand]

C'mon, it's just 1800 baht extra, no big deal for a 6-month stamp.

The only problem is the ugly Cambodian visa that will eat a page in your passport.

Why use a visa run agent, why not just find a cheap flight to a neighboring country, fly in and fly back on the same day, you don't even have to pass through immigration in the country you visit, Just transit through the airport and fly back to Thailand and enter. I am sure you can find some cheap flights, which are less then the price quoted for the visa run. 

 

I know which one I would be doing....✈️

How do you get the boarding pass for these cheap flight tickets to come back without clearing immigration of the country you visit? The airline check-in desk which issues boarding passes are located in the outside section of the airport.

 

Also, the cheapest flight tickets are at least 3.5k, plus 2k for the car to and from Pattaya, plus meals at the airport. Already makes it the same price or more than a visa run van. Not to mention it'll take double the amount of time too.
