Pataya

[mijan24]

Normally I cross at Nong Kai but 90 days is up in just over a fortnight and I need to go to Pataya this coming weekend where is the closest crossing point.

My trip will be Khon Kaen to Pataya & return

Chantaburi and Trat Province border with Cambodia, which is about a 3-4 hours trip from Pattaya.

In these provinces there are a couple of Crossing Points

(Most hassle free trip would be a visa run from Pattaya, of which there are many and cost around 2000 Baht)

Off topic a bit -- but please note that Thai spelt with the english alphabet varies enormously.

Thank you for your valuless response - I would imagine after posting you sat and had a little snigger - well done "small things amuse small minds". Of course you realise it should be two T's not two 'Tees' as I have no intention pf playing golf. :jap:

MJCM thankyou for the advice!

If you go up and down through the mountains, roads 304 and 331, you could do a detour to Aranyprathet (from Kabin Buri e.g.).

As far as I can see from the map it is the closest border on this route.

Seems quite a busy place unfortunately.

Whilst on the road detour to Aranyaprathet as KhunBENQ rightly says.

There is a great market there too where you can buy anything for next to nothing.
