New place to do Visa run from Phuket... Shoon

[mastaclint]

I went to a visa run company today and she told me there is a new place, leave 6am, come back 8pm from phuket. Can do 3 month visa there. But she could not tell me any information. Price is 1900B. Anyone hear of this. I think it's spelled SHOON or something close to that. I just booked to Penang but I really don't want to do that if I can do it for half price and half the time

There is AFAIK only Kota Bharu, Malaysia and Penang which offer visas if travelling by road from Phuket.

Neither will provide a same day service.

I think there is some misunderstanding !

I did look at the link which seems to be poorly written and out of date.

"If you come to Thailand and find yourself wanting to extend your holiday a week or two.. you can do what’s called a “Phuket Border Run to Satun” !

If you are just doing a border run then the best bet from Phuket is to Ranong. Several well-established companies in Phuket doing such, I did so myself many years ago. Leave around 0600, return around 1700.

its a 4 hour drive each way, exit, boat ( 50 /seat each way or 400 for the whole boat r/t) across to Kawthoung stamp in an out of Myanmar ( new $10 bill) and back 1 hour

u can do it by local bus's for less than 300 baht each way

or get 2 or more together an rent a car, there is a facebook page for visa runs from Phuket where u can post for riders.

I just searched on the name and Shoon and Satun sound a bit similar so I thought that could maybe the one.

And then I found that Visa Run website which is Poorly written (but aren't they all ?

Maybe the thread is misunderstood because the ambiguous term "visa run" is used while actually just a "border run" is meant, just using another entry on Non O visa e.g.?

@mastaclint: can you comment on that?

This indeed seems possible to some place in Ranong where you do short boat trip to Myanmar (is it a casino site BTW?, "Treasure Island Resort & Casino").

But "shoon"? I'll study the maps

Going to "Kawthoung" on the Myanmar side as seen on this map detail?

Once you will get passport stamped out, then we go to the dock and take our Phuket Visa Run ferry boat over to Burma/Myanmar.

Ranong is ONLY for stamp not a visa

u can do the casino stamp ( in and out if u already have a visa ( ie non o, non B, double tourist) entry trip but its expensive vs the

head to Ranong immigration at the boat pier and take the local boat across an back

There is NOTHING remotely resembling anywhere called Shoon, i have driven all the border entry points with Thailand/Malaysia
