January 13, 201412 yr I have got to do a border run this week from Phuket to KL. I have never flown out of Phuket Airport. How much time before the flight takes off should I arrive at the airport and is there free parking at the airport for a scooter.
January 13, 201412 yr I think you will get your answered quicker on the Phuket forum. Moved to there.
January 13, 201412 yr At least 60 minutes, I always allow 90 minutes. Yes there is free motor bike parking.
January 13, 201412 yr allow 90 minutes, motorcycle parking on the left just before the airport entrance road. You'll see scooters in there.
January 13, 201412 yr its free parking for motorbike, have you iphone ready to tape the guy that sometimes ask money for parking..
January 15, 201412 yr allow 90 minutes, motorcycle parking on the left just before the airport entrance road. You'll see scooters in there. Location has changed, since they are building in that area the motorbike parking is now inside the airport area (simply take the car entrance).
January 15, 201412 yr Just out of curiosity, why must you do a "border run" to KL? Are you needing a new visa or just an exit/entry stamp?
January 16, 201412 yr Author Just out of curiosity, why must you do a "border run" to KL? Are you needing a new visa or just an exit/entry stamp? Just a exit/entry stamp, where would you have travelled to ?
January 16, 201412 yr do a run up to Ranong, if all u need is stamp in and out, look at this facebook page for ride share https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402002616711342/
January 16, 201412 yr do a run up to Ranong, if all u need is stamp in and out, look at this facebook page for ride share https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402002616711342/ Just take into account that if entering visa exempt and you're not from one of the G7 countries you will only get 15 days entry overland, whereas entering via air from KL you'll get 30 days.
January 16, 201412 yr Author Fly to KL then you are safer than in a minivan to Ranong. My thoughts exactly. I might have spent 2500 Baht more but money well spent.

January 16, 201412 yr Did anyone bother an look at the facebook page? my post has NOTHING to do with the mini van services, but is a group on facebook that is an alternative to using the dangerous thai mini van services. judging by the response , its working well. so sharing a ride to Ranong even with car rental by 4 people will cost u about 800 baht vs Booking a flight for sunday on air asia an coming back same day is over 7,000++ baht Booking for next sat would still be 4,800++ There are other countries beside G7 members that get 90 days If you are a citizen of Brazil, Chile, Peru, South Korea, or Argentina, you will fare even better According to the Thailand Immigration Bureau, the number of times you can cross a land border into Thailand and be given 15, 30 or 90 days in Thailand is now unlimited. That means, if you are an American or British citizen, for instance, and you decide to do a visa run every month while traveling around Thailand, you can do so indefinitely. Years, it now seems.
January 18, 201412 yr Author Why would you wait until the last minute to book a flight and pay 7000 Baht. You can get the flights for less than 4000 baht if you book in advance.
January 18, 201412 yr why would anyone do a stamp run ( not to get a visa) to KL??? So many options far cheaper, even flight to hat yai and taxi to boarder would be cheaper
January 18, 201412 yr why would anyone do a stamp run ( not to get a visa) to KL??? So many options far cheaper, even flight to hat yai and taxi to boarder would be cheaper Why would you care how the OP spends his money? If he has the cash and makes a decision he is comfortable how can it be a bad one? Not everyone needs cheaper... Sent from my ME172V using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
January 18, 201412 yr Fly to KL then you are safer than in a minivan to Ranong. I agree. Another option is also Phuket to Penang. http://www.fireflyz.com.my/
