I have a 6 month multi-entry eVisa from the US which i used to enter Thailand on Oct 5 2023. This visa can be used as many times as needed until around the first of April 2024 correct?
I live in Phuket and normally fly to Udon Thani, take the 200 baht van to nong khai and spend the night close to the freedom bridge. In the morning I walk to thailand immigration and exit the country. Buy a 30 baht bus ticket to Loas. At the Loas border i fill out an entry/exit form, provide the officers in window 1 with a passport picture and 2 perfect $20 bills. About 10 minutes later i am called to window 3 and my picture is taken and i am given my passport and exit paperwork. I walk around the same building and give my passport and exit paperwork to the officer and receive my exit stamp (sometimes i am asking for 100 baht). I buy a 30 baht bus ticket back across the bridge, fill out my thailand entry/exit form and am granted another 60 days. Total time if done early is about an hour.
There are no longer direct flights from Phuket to Udon Thani or at least nothing available as of today. I am thinking KUL would be my cheapest/best option. My question is can i arrive and depart the same day? I am also open to hearing about what everyone else is doing for a simple border bounce. Thank you!!
