visa run from ranong

[nojoma]

will be activating the 2nd part of a double entry tourist visa in 30 days and would like to that from ranong.....any advice or tips greatly appreciated

easy,

go to immigration, exit Thailand, go down and grab a boat to Kwathong ( 400 for whole boat r/t or 50 baht for a seat one way)

carry a crisp new $10 Bill and copy of ur passport for Burma immigration

pick up some cigs and beer if u want

come back and stamp back in

Use the Andaman Club services.

Comfortable boats every hour

Use the Andaman Club services.

Comfortable boats every hour

And they just changed the complete fleet.

Very fast and new open speedboats now. Trip takes about 5 minutes.

Before it took at least an half hour or so in a closed boat.

How much is the boat to the Andaman Club these days?

How much is the boat to the Andaman Club these days?

around 900 baht. All-in.

If you stay in the Andaman Club for the night you get a refund.

I believe around 50% or so.

I think it's money well spend with private immigration and all

Just make sure that it's a brand new crisp 10 Dollar bill. I have seen them refuse slightly creased ones, and their exchange rate is a rip off

Andaman Club is the best way to do it - but............the mini-bus drivers can be lethal.

There is a golf course at the Andaman Club, so if you play you can take your clubs and spend a night there.

It is quite a pretty drive (4 or so hours) from Phuket to Ranong. All in all a bit cheaper than going to say Singapore or KL.

Hello!

I know a Dutchman who had a 60-day tourist visa with a double entry.

About several months ago he had to show 20,000B (or 500 Euros)

CASH at Ranong Immigration Office when he came back to Thailand

on his 2nd entry.

I'm afraid Ranong would be best avoided as a re-entry point.

Good luck.

I found this the most interesting way, compared to the dull Andaman club way....

Always drive myself. Much more enjoyable that way.

I leave Samui real early and back with the 6pm ferry.

Best of luck to you, but dull is fine with me...
