Need a fresh 90 day stamp on my Non o visa , what company do you use ?

[visarunner]

Along Soi Buakhaow and Soi PostOffice there are plenty of companies.

Bri&Joy , Good Tour & Travel , 5Star are offering all similar standard.

Not Quite!

I have used many different visa-run services over the years and they do vary a great deal.

1. The quality of the minibus.

2. The state of the driver.

3. The border chosen by the company.

4. The help with visa formalities.

5. The comfort of travel (seats, movies, packed lunch).

I prefer to avoid Poi Pet, I also prefer a six seater modern, newish minibus with comfortable reclining seats. I also prefer a driver not out of his head on M150 driving like a James Hunt.

For the above said reasons, I can recommend Soi 13 Sportsman bar service for 2400 Baht.

Now that was the type of reply I was looking for

I use Sea Air Land Travel.

They have new Minibuses, good Driver. They pick u up at your Place and bring you back there. No Breakfast, but who cares. No idea witch border they are going too, I never asked and it was allways fast. They do all paperwork for you. You just have to hand over your passport at the Thaiside to the Immigration Officer. After you just walk over to Cambodia and wait till you get your Passport back. Once, I had a brocken foot and couldnt walk properly, they gave me a chair, direct oposite from the Immigration Officer (Thai Side), waited there till my Passport came back from Cambodia and stamped back in to Thailand, all done by the Girl of SAL Travel. Best thing, they stop on the way back at a proper Restaurant, where you are offered a choise of Meals, no packed Lunches Only donwnside, they do not play movies on the way.

Just for a change of scenery I am planning to do a visa run from Pattaya next week.

Will be arriving there mid morning and was wondering if anyone knows if any of these companies have trips leaving around lunchtime? Would be nice to get the visa run out of the way so I can do some sightseeing

I've done border runs with a lot of the other ones mentioned, but for me Cambodia Inter is great. They have the best drivers I've come across so far...and a bargain at 1,700 for a minibus with reclining seats.

I would use 1st Class Visa Runs from Witherspoons on Soi Buakhow. 6 seated minibus Bt2400 with breakfast and evening meal. No waiting at the border. Comfortable van with quasi business class seats and a selection of movies to watch.

[Guderian]

I have used First Class Visa from Witherspoon's on Soi Buakhao, just where Soi Diana Inn meets it.

Luxury minibus, only 6 seats, leather seats like business class in an airplane (well, almost), wireless headphones and DVD movies, free breakfast beforehand and meal when you get back. 2400 Baht for the trip, and the border crossing they used when I renewed in April (Daung) has a halfway decent duty-free shop (spirits are much, much cheaper in Cambo than in Thailand), so if you are a liver-waster you can save a few hundred Baht buying a bottle of your favourite rotgut (e.g. my favourite is Bombay Sapphire gin, 480 Baht/litre in Cambo, cf. 1100 Baht in Pattaya).

They check that you have the right documents – air tickets out, etc., if you are looking for a 30-day stamp, so you won't get stranded in Cambodia!

Highly recommended, it was as quick and easy as a visa run can be.

I thought it might be useful to mention here that the Pattaya visa run services go to Ban Laem. Although air tickets can be accepted, the general practice there is to buy a 200 baht "bogus bus ticket" in Cambodia that satifies the immigration officer's requirement for onward travel.
