Ranong - Club Andaman boat trip.

[Mosha]

The boat is now 950 Baht for non Thais. Up 100 Baht from my last run

[Nana Cowboy]

that's too bad. how much is it for Thais?

My wife says it was still 100 Baht

Guess there are cheaper ways ?

Last time did a border run that way was over 3 years ago, used a long boat..... boat was 400 baht,stamp and the fee 500 baht, very wet wooden boat and how to get off ? help from boatman, no idea where border post was, also taken by boatman = 100 baht for help and tip, so total 1,000 baht..

So even with the price going up the Andaman all in trip still look cheap.... If I ever need a border run and down that way will never go via a Long boat, I am to old for that.

I agree, it was just a shock to hand over the ticket. I didn't see any motice on the Ranong side. though I never really looked.

[Nana Cowboy]

ok so only 100 baht for Thais at the Andaman club? good to know

[monkey4u]

As I recall that includes the visa stamp also

950 baht still a cheap visa run, If you cant afford it maybe its best you go home and earn a couple of peso's

[Mosha]

Which stamp? I bought the visa in Penang for Thailand. IIRC this is the 2nd rise in 12 months.

They do not normally foreigner allow entry into Burma without a payment - regardless of where it is done. Did you pay that in addition to the 950 baht fee?

[Nana Cowboy]

Andaman was 850 including stamp, now it's 950 including

[Nana Cowboy]

It's a nice easy run for me but too far away for most expats. Funny how everyone takes the minibus to the club after getting stamped into Burma. I just turn right around and wait for the next boat back. Sometimes can get lucky and take same boat back right away. not last time though, had to go back with the same people who went to the club. oh well

Jist to add they daren't put the Thai price up. They have competirion. abd it on;y costs Thais 30 Baht. Ubfortunately, no innigration points though.
