A good friend goes to Chiangkhong to extend his one year multiple entry visa. A few days ago they refused to allow him to leave Thailand at Chiangkhong for the second time and said that there is a "new rule", only one land crossing at the same point per visa. In other words, you can't cross at the same point twice in a row.

Has anyone else heard of this new idiocy?

Are they applying it at Mai Sai?

I'm going tomorrow!

There hasn't been any such news reported in the various Mae Sai threads that are running.

Thanks much ovenman. I haven't been keeping up lately!

Hi Judge, would you be kind enough to let the forum know how you got on. I, for one, would appreciate it. Thanks

I crossed Wednesday at Mai Sai. It was the third such crossing in a row on the same Multiple Entry non-immigrant B. No problem; I got my 90 days as usual.

Thanks all.

I talked one of those nice hotels with a swimmimg pool in downtown Chiang Rai into giving their cheapest internet rate, so I am going to relax there till Monday. I'll tell you how I did when I get back to Chiang Mai, but it sounds like much ado about nothing.
