Mae Sai Vip Visa Run

[mallmagician]

Hi,

Not sure who it was, but someone mentioned to me recently about one of those VIP buses with extra leg room doing a Visa Run to Mae Sai. Any truth in this?

I need to go on Monday, so am looking for a nice comfortable ride.

Thanks

I LOVE those 34 seat (I think) Vip busses. The regular ones aren't so great.

I sleep all of the way to Mai Sai and all the way back. Never been able to do that before.

Pop down to the Arcade Bus Station to pre book your chosen seat – very comfortable but stops a bit short of the border (you will have to take a Songtaew for last kilometer or two).

leaves Chiang Mai at 8am - return trip you must book as soon as you get to Mai Sai, before you do the border run!

24 seat VIP bus leaves arcade bus station at 8 O'Clock morning.

just to add that it costs THB350 per way.

Hmmm, sounds a bit scary with the book as soon as you get to MS. Maybe I will just take a Valium and get in one of those minivans of hel_l!

Thanks for the posts guys and gals.

Sorry, 24 seat busses is correct.

You have to take a Songtoew truck from the Mai Sai bus station to the border, but they are only 5 baht and waiting for you both ways. So easy a baby could do it.
