Mandy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Could anyone advise the closest border to Phuket? My Husband & I need to do one last border stamp for 30 days before we have our papers ready to go for the Non Immi B and O visas.

bakwaan Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Nearest border to Phuket is Ranong about 5/6 hours drive north of Phuket, Visa runs cost around 1200 baht or so round trip including boat over to Myanmar/Burma. I believe you can fly there with Air Asia for around 2300 baht return, call them at Phuket airport if no joy at travel agents ( think you may need to book direct ) I can't be bothered spending 12 hours on a minibus risking my life to save 1000 baht or so. A friend of mine from Patong actually flies down to Kuala Lumpur and makes a day of it . . not expensive with some of the fares if you shop around. Hope to have ben of some assistance.

BronzeRider Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 bakwaan I'm with you 100% Mini-vans are cheap if you like the "plah kabong" - fish in can, style of riding. Air fares are cheap. Phuket to HatYai rt is 1,910. Great fares to Kl and to Ranong. Much easier and safer all around. I only wish that some air carrier would start a Phuket to Naratiwat run!!
