Just A Quick Question

[a man with a plan]

I will have to make a visa border run soon but I will be going from Sukothai. Does any one have any reccommendations as to what the best way to go is? Chiangrai? Nong Khai?

Also, will it just be a case of going across the border and coming back again? I only need the 30 day stamp.

I recommend that you go to Mae Sot. Couteous and professional staff

[srisatch]

Depends on how much you want to spend/transport etc. Mae Sot a simple option or take the plane from Sukothai to Luang Prabang and back

Yes best option is Mae Sot, Take a bus to Tak, ie the Khon Kean to Chiang Mai service about every 2 hours. from Tak take a mini bus through the mountains, good road but crazy drivers. at Mae Sot, mini bus stop in the town get motor bike to border 30 to 50 Baht or their is the Baht bus @ 10 Baht. exit Thailand walk across bridge (Burmese walk/wade across river) Myanmar visa is 500 Baht plus 5 Baht for photo copy ( I think, I only needed 1 photo). on that Myanmar visa you can stay on the Burma side till immigration office closes same day. but I understand you can get a permit to stay in border town for 2-3 days but no more than 5km from town.

No problem re-enter Thailand, 30 day visa, but they do check passport to see your visa runs are not all at the same border. on bus back to Tak be prepared for 2 to 3 passport checks on the highway.

Their is a nice cheap hotel in Mae Sot, the timber carving in the room's and on the stairs is a treat for sore eyes.

This Myanmar border does not have the DVD's that can be found at Mae Sai/Takilek border.
