POAK Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My visa expires as of tomorrow and have looked up a few places here in Bangkok to do a quick and cheap Visa Run to get an extention on my visa. I checked out a few travel agencies and they all quoted me around 3000THB I did a quick search on the internet and found these 3 businesses that did a same day service, was wondering if anyone has ever used them before?

POAK Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I went with Sawasdee Transport, was picked up at the carpark at Tesco On Nut and around 7:30am. We met Andy (I think his name was Andy, someone on the bus told me his name was Claudio) a German guy who has been running the business for a few years now with his Thai wife. He introduced himself to us and explained the process. There where 3 mini-vans that held 10 people and a driver. We left at around 8:00am and made 2 stops on the way to the Cambodia border. The total travelling time there was about 5 hours, where we passed through the check point and were lead to the Casino to eat, if we wanted too or gamble with the Thai's there on some rather old looking tables. After a half an hour lunch break, we met the driver's and the guide who had sorted out our passports and all we needed to do was hand over our 1900THB and fillin the arrival card and cross over the border again. Back on the mini-bus and back to Bangkok at around 5:30am. Overall a very good and quick service which I would recomend to anyone who needs to extend their visa.

Jdietz Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Used Sawadee and Jack Golf, both recommended. If you want to pig out on luxury travel, use Jacks big bus, if you want to cut an hour or so traveling use Sawadee minivans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisico Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hello everybody! I found a visa run service virtually from anywhere in Bangkok to Poipet. Round trip: THB 500. One way 300. A minivan will pick you up where you live. My personal experience. Picked up at about 2:30 AM in Pinklao where I live. Picked up 3 more passengers in Nakhon Pathom province. Another couple in a Sukhumvit Soi and another one on the way to the highway. One stop. We rolled into Aranyaprhatet around 6:15 AM. I was at the Thai Immigration at 8 AM and back around 9:30 AM. The vans have their hub in the Talad Market real close to the border, at a small eatery with friendly young waitresses and food of acceptable quality and prices. I got into the 10 AM bus and after delivering passengers to their residences in Bang Na, and other points along the way, I was delivered to the lobby of my condo at 3 PM. Pros: inexpensive, efficient and courteous. Pick up at your place of residence at different times of early morning onward. The drivers will even wait 10-15 minutes for you if not ready. Cons: It's a mini van, not a bus. Only one 15 minute stop along the way. Thais and Cambodians are the bulk of their passengers. If you want to chat in English or require babying, this service is not advisable. It was a good experience for me. I have nothing negative to say about the people with whom I shared the trip to and from. I saw parts of Bangkok I did not know. I learned a few more words in Thai and Khmer. Have someone fluent in Thai make the arrangements for you on the phone. I hope the moderators do not delete their phone numbers. If so, feel free to message me and I will give them to you. 089-250-4934, 084-352-9441 :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
