Christmas/New Year visa run

[BBB 3]

If i need to do a visa run at Christmas/New Year are the border crossings open or closed for a holiday at this time.

You might also want to factor in December 5th, the King's birthday. I wouldn't want to be doing a visa run at that time of year.

I think some of the borders closed last year at New Year, just one day, plus they were busy with local people going back and forth at that time. If you are just doing a 'Visa Run' in a day, the company you book with should be well aware as to whether the border post is open that day. Visa runs are probably going to be more readily available this year due to visa changes limiting the number one can do, and that the market is saturated in Pattaya. I will be off there next month, great opportunity to get some duty free booze and cheap viagra. (Cost me 150/3 there, scalpers try to sell it for 1000 in Pattaya)

Why not try and do an extension first. End of December is when the first people on their "3 stamps" will be shown the door. The borders will be very busy as they will be going through the passports page by page again.
