WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR
You have a 30-day visa exemption stamp or an expiring tourist visa in your passport*.
AND You have done less than two border runs overland in the current calendar year.
OR, you have another type of visa (NON-B, Non-O…) that is about to expire and you want to exit Thailand to re-enter on a new visa or visa exemption or activate a new entry on your current multiple entry visa**.
* You can extend your visa exemption or tourist visa one time at an immigration office for an additional 30 days before doing this trip.
** Student visas, volunteer visas, or a Non-B visa with work permits must be canceled at the immigration office before going on this trip to the border.
Your trip to Huay Xai (Laos) will start early in the morning.
For Join-in trips, We will pick you up between 6:30 am, and 7:30 am. The minivan will pick you up at the location you choose in the list of available locations in the booking form and on the map above. We only pick up passengers from these 11 locations above. This way, everyone spends less time in the minibus, and the whole trip is faster. The time of Pick-up and the precise location of your pick-up point are sent to you by email the day before your trip.
For private trips, the minivan will pick you up at the location of your choice in Chiang Mai (or in close proximity) at 6:30 am.
The trip to and from the border takes on average 5 hours each way for a total of 11-12 hours, including stops on the way and time at the border.
Your driver will take short breaks along the way so all passengers can use the toilets and buy refreshments.
All passengers will pay the driver for their trip at the last quick stop we do at a PTT gas station before arriving at the border.
The minibus will wait at the border for passengers to return for a maximum of 120 minutes which is usually more than enough. Please notify us by phone if you are being significantly delayed at any step of the process.
Our goal is to spend as little time at the border as possible in order not to delay the return to Chiang Mai for everyone.
Bring some snacks, It’s a long trip, and there are very few food options at the border. Bottled water is available on the minibus for free.
If you are tall or likely to get road sick, consider securing a specific seat on the minibus (+100 THB only on request).
Don’t forget your passport (and departure card if you have one).
We cannot transport large bags and backpacks. The minivan is not equipped to store them. Contact us before booking if you carry a bag larger than 45cm x 30cm x 20cm that would not fit on your lap or below your seat.
No alcohol is allowed on the minibus.
It is your responsibility to make sure your visa/passport and travel documents are compliant with Thai and Lao immigration regulations.
Book early to ensure that you do not risk overstaying passed the expiration date of your current visa (Overstay is fined 500 THB per day by Thai Immigration Police).
We do not offer any warranty regarding the outcome of your border run to Huay Xai. We can offer advice regarding your visa situation in Thailand, but we only provide transportation services from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong.
