Visa Run To Savannakhet

[viewpoint]

Will be going by bus from mo chit to mukdahan.

Is there different companies that have bus services or just 1? Any recommendations?

Thanks

Why not fly, takes almost no time, and don't have to sit on a bus, I have to use a bus once in while but I hate it.

Savanvegas. I think they make the trip the easiest.

Nok Air do a Flight + Bus service to the boarder..

Back to question bus from mo chit to mukdahan., yes there are a number of different Bus Companies + would appear different prices for the same service.. Myself went December and used Company called 999, paid 800 baht 1st class, 2 other Guys I spoke to also used 1st class both were less .. 1 was 698 baht the other 768 baht all 3 Buses arrived at the Mukahan Bus Station within 10 mins of each other..

1st Class = 3 wide arm chairs across, and recline 170 degrees

I just went by train. I like trains.

Sleeper is 480 baht. arrive in Ubon about 08:30, then bus/minivan takes about 2-3 hours.

Savan vegas will do a pickup from mukdahan busstation and take care of visa if you want. They have a visarun package that is a great deal. Great breakfast, good lunch and dinner (and next day breakfast included).

In early Jan this year I took the VIP bus out of MoChit to Mukdahan - overnight

You can book it online on thaiticketmajor

So easy

Just do not leave your baggage in the van when

you are going thru the border crossings

Alright missed my last night bus to muk, Lomprayah was late getting into BKK as usual. So today I took BTS to mo chit, then got a taxi to bus station, 50B went to ticket counter 36 i think, got the "VIP 32 Seat" for 622Bhat. Well be back tonight at 8:00pm to catch the bus.

I think that means that you will be arriving tomorrow (Friday) which means you will have to wait until Monday afternoon to pick up your passport at the consulate.

Correct! Damnit! My visa expires on 10th. I planned to go yesterday. But i got late into bangkok. Yes I could fly, but i wanna try the bus route, and im on a budget.

Also, any reccomendations on places to stay in savannakhet, Id prefer a decent place next to the river, not so cheap but also not so expensive...

Problem with many Posts, did he need a Visa ? or a boarder run to activate his Visa? Visa Run could mean anything...

If Visa then No he will not be back on that Bus, No idea if Chinese New Year will affect the Thai Embassy, re info on Savannakhet holidays pages say many Businesses closed for 3 days.

Im going to apply for a tourist visa tomorrow. I know the 10th is a holiday. Hoping consulate will be open on monday.. Tuesday is ok too.

I checked the thai consualte website. Did not mention anything about extra closure due to sunday new years.

On the bus now, departed at 8:05 pm

Looks like an interesting package.

Are they okay doing one year multi-entry Non-O visas?

[Khun Jean]

I went to savanvegas. I applied for the visa in person but they offer a service to do it for you.

I only saw foreigners that were happy with the service, i spoke to a few who did the marriage and a few who did the retirement multiple entries.

Everyone got for what they came for.
