Patong Bob Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Was told today, by a highly unreliable source, that the visa run option to Ranong is now over. Two versions : problems between Myanmar and Thailand because the move of the government to Pyinban (sp ?) customs have caught too many farang smuggling cigs & booze into Thailand (highly unlikely - usually Customs will let the boat operators know when there is going to be a crackdown). Any reliable information appreciated. The visa run service I usually use are now going to some small town (Khanjon ????) near Satun. If anyone knows anything about Khanjon - bus services to Penang etc., that would be helpful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall64au Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Haven't heard about Ranong closing. A friend was up there last week on a visa run. He was busted by Customs bringing back 4 cartons of cigarettes and fined 10 000 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Was up there monday.. All open for biz... Boat boys warned us that if we wanted cigs or dick pills to let them handle it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 problems between Myanmar and Thailand because the move of the government to Pyinban (sp ?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you mean Pyinmina?? Unlikely to cause any problem for Ranong immigration post. Nothing heard from my end besides some crackdowns - the odd bag check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
