Visa exemption at Chiang kong

[BuffaloRescue]

Hi. My tourist visa is running out. No more visa runs to maesai. So can I do it at Chiang kong?

[ubonjoe]

No problem to do an out/in crossing for a visa exempt entry there.

Are u sure?

If you do not believe the advise given go somewhere else for the visa exempt entry .......................

[ubonjoe]

Are u sure?

Yes

Reports by people that were turned away at Mae Sai going there and getting one.

[BuffaloRescue]

So maybe i try at maesai first?

[BuffaloRescue]

I thought maesai impossible. Visa is run out so need visa exemption

[ubonjoe]

I think you need to read my post again.

You cannot do it at Mae Sai, You can at Chiang Khong.

Anyone as.managed to get one recently at Chiang kong?

Have to show 20000 baht?

If you are here a lot, especially uninterrupted, and/or have several VisaExempt entries, they are more likely to ask to see the 20K Baht. No harm in being prepared, just in case. I don't like to carry that much cash, so I use travellers checks, available at Bangkok Bank.
