Bunnigal Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Greetings all! I'm having a little question concerning transportation arrangement to do border-hop to activate another entry of my bf's multientry non imm(O) visa. His visa is valid from september this year till sept next year. He entered Thailand on 13 Oct and on the 1st stamp, it says valid untill 11 Jan, 07 which means he'll have to go out of Thailand before that date, correct? Now the problem is we don't really know where the best place (as in convenient and nearby Thailand) for border hopping would be. Thinking of Malaysia, either KL or Penang. Any other places? And we are not sure bout transportations to get there. Like plane or train and cost and how. And what we need to do to get the 2nd entry activated? So.. please kindly help us out! A place + transportations guide + processes & documents etc Your advices are always extremely appreciated! big THANKS xxBunnigalxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Samui and always went to Padang Baazar on the Malaysian border. Mini bus to Had Yai cost around 300 Baht. Mini bus from Had Yai 40 Baht to the border. Cross the border ,come back again within 1 minute. back to Had Yai. Stay the night in a hotel about five hundred Baht and get the mini bus back to Samui in the morning. Easy. There are other options depending where you are. Also many Visa run companies. But more fun to do on your own in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Our OP simply needs to do a border run to activate another entry, 10 grand is a bit steep to do that Meanwhile, we REALLY need to know from where in Thailand he is going to start for best advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnigal Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey thanks a lot LITE BEER, funfun & Crossy! He is going to start from Bangkok (sorry, forget to put that down earlier) xxBunnigalxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 There is daily bus service from at least four places that advertise in the classified section of The Bangkok Post that go to Cambodia for an all inclusive cost of between 1,800 and 2,200 baht. That is the easy way; but why not travel and see other places with you? Any such trip can be used to obtain a new 90 day stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcys Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Check Airasia.com for cheap flights. The cheapest w/o taxes that I've seen is to KL from BKK for 99THB. I'm flying to Macau next week to do my visa run R/T cost me 4000THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnigal Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Once again, good advice from Mr. Lopburi3 Thank you! Big THANKS to rcys aswell! xxBunnigalxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visarunner Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The amount of VisaRun companies which advertise in the BKK Post have already dropped from 6 to 4 . Sign of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnigal Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks Visarunner ... Anyway, if my bf flies from BKK to KL, Malaysia then once he arrives at KL airport, will his 2nd entry be activated? From immigrant officer at the airport I meant. Or will he still need to travel to Thai consulate there to get it activated? Cause if it all can be done at the airport then we probably will just book the flight to KL and back to Bkk within a few hours later. We don't feel the urge to go sight-seeing or shopping there Thanks again, you'll are such a great help!! xxBunnigalxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well if you are not going to exit the airport why fly anywhere? A bus ride to border at 2,000 baht is all he needs and you don't have to be with him. The visa entry is activated when he returns to Thailand. On entry form he puts the visa information as he did the first time and gets a new 90 day permitted to stay stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like that Tom Hanks movie in which he lived in the airport lounge for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visarunner Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Lopburi is spot on , as usually. A entry will be activated at any border point. Edited November 16, 2006 by visarunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
