rockingrobin Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) To get another 30 days would he not have to arrive at an airport, do land borders only give 15 days Correction the above is incorrect , 30 days is available at land borders Edited May 2, 2016 by rockingrobin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Probably easiest is to take a casino bus to the border at Aranyaprathet to Poi Pet (Cambodia). He can get a Cambodian visa on arrival for US$30 (ensure US currency) if he can avoid all the scams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grankboy Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I thought with a uk passport he can still get 30 from a lander border ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Another good alternative is a same day in/out by air to Kuala Lumpur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I thought with a uk passport he can still get 30 from a lander border ? You are correct. He gets 30 days at a land border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nearest border is at Phu Nam Ron , Kanchanaburi. Bit awkwards to get to though if you don't have your own wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnatong Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 To get another 30 days would he not have to arrive at an airport, do land borders only give 15 days Misleading and inaccurate information. Passport holders from G7 countries receive a 30 day visa exenpt entry at land borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grankboy Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 He has a car so no problem, I heard that unless you have a visa Phi Nam Ron is not easy to get back in on a 30 day stamp ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nearest border is at Phu Nam Ron , Kanchanaburi. Bit awkwards to get to though if you don't have your own wheels. Bigger problem than transport is that you cannot do a border hop for a visa exempt entry there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Nearest border is at Phu Nam Ron , Kanchanaburi. Bit awkwards to get to though if you don't have your own wheels. No way for 30 day stamp! Only for visa holder (border run). ------------------------------------------------------------ EDIT: just seen, post #5 by BritTim was faster about this: he lives in central Bangkok. The nearest border is Kuala Lumpur airport An easy one day return trip by air from Don Mueang with AirAsia. Due to the short term booking and all the holidays in Thailand not so cheap. On Saturday it would be about 4200. May 10 much cheaper, but too late I guess. Edited May 2, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) If you are eligable you can take a bus from Bangkok to the Cambodian border and do a day trip for a turn around there. Will cost you about 2300 baht and is a day trip......leaving about 6 a.m. from Bangkok and returning same day about 6 p.m with a new visa. 16 passenger min-van , two bathroom or coffee stops on the way and 1 hour stay at the border for lunch and visa.process long trip, but i've done it twice in last 3 years/. . look for their URL on net......www.thaivisarun.com NOT aqssociated with this Thai visa forum but a similar name. 2300 Baht is the farang price. for entire12 hour trip....includes cambodian visa at the border. Have empty pages in your passport for Cambodian visa. All details on the URL.....contact them Edited May 2, 2016 by IMA_FARANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is more comfortable (and cheaper and quicker) to do the run yourself using the casino bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodaManao777 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I agree with this guy. Casino bus to Poipet. Multiple border-bound busses depart from the southern edge of Lumphini park starting early in the morning up until about 1 or 2pm (as far as I know). The pick-up spot is near the park entrance that is on Rama IV-- across from the HSBC building. I have made this trip a few times. The casino bus costs 200 baht each way. For me, being on a big bus is way better than being crammed in a mini bus. The service I got leaving from Ekkamai bus station was way worse than the casino bus. Multiple busses leave from the border market back to Bangkok on the Thai side near a back parking lot close to the border line. G7 still gets 30 day exempt on arrival! Not 15! Chok dee! Probably easiest is to take a casino bus to the border at Aranyaprathet to Poi Pet (Cambodia). He can get a Cambodian visa on arrival for US$30 (ensure US currency) if he can avoid all the scams.

This is what you said " Will cost you about 2300 baht and is a day trip......leaving about 6 a.m. from bangkok and returning same day about 6 p.m with a new visa.) Totally wrong and misleading as new visa's cannot be obtained at border crossings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
