CFC Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 At least 60 minutes, I always allow 90 minutes. Yes there is free motor bike parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ade Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 allow 90 minutes, motorcycle parking on the left just before the airport entrance road. You'll see scooters in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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).

NomadJoe Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt 35 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Fly to KL then you are safer than in a minivan to Ranong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) 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.

CFC Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

NamKangMan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 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/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
