Which is the closest border crossing for expats living in Bangkok or Pattaya, and what are the Malaria risks when attending these for visa renewal? Any recommendations re best crossing for cost/time/malaria risk would be appreciated.

Thanks

The most convenient bordercrossing for BKK and Pattaya is Ban Laem , a small place near SoiDao.

No danger of Malaria as you not stay overnight.

Cost for a VisaRun range between THB 1,800.- and THB 2,400.-.

BKK operators ad's are in BKKPost , operators from Pattaya you can find in Soi Yamato,Soi Post office and along Soi Buakhao.

The run itself takes between 8-10hours.
