If you\u2019re depending on the Ban Laem or Ban Phakkat checkpoints for a quick visa reset &#8211; that option is no longer available.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Happened?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On June 7th, Thai immigration authorities officially shut down the land border crossings between Chanthaburi and Cambodia. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ban Laem &#8211; Daung Lem (Pedestrian crossing)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ban Phakkat &#8211; Phsar Prum<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These spots were used by many people doing <strong>border runs<\/strong> &#8211; short trips out of the country just to come back and get more days in Thailand. Some agents even ran regular trips to help people do this.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But now, due to legal issues and national security concerns, those days are over &#8211; at least at these two crossings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Quick History of Border Runs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Border runs were once a popular trick to extend your stay in Thailand. Many tourists, digital nomads, and even long-term residents would leave Thailand for a day or even a few hours, then return with a fresh 15-30 day stamp.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Common border-run routes included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cambodia (Ban Laem, Aranyaprathet)<\/li>\n<li>Laos (Nong Khai)<\/li>\n<li>Myanmar (Mae Sai)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But in recent years, Thai immigration has been <strong>tightening the rules<\/strong>, especially with people who do this too often. Now, in 2025, many of these land routes are completely <strong>closed or heavily restricted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Are Your Options Now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With Cambodia and Myanmar borders mostly shut, and <strong>Nong Khai (Laos)<\/strong> getting stricter, you need to be <strong>extra careful<\/strong> about your stay in Thailand. Here are some real, legal options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Tourist Visa Extensions<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Extend your tourist visa at immigration offices for 30 more days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Change Visa Type<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Switch to an education visa, retirement visa, guardian or dependent visa &#8211; if you qualify.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Apply for a Long-Term Visa<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re working, studying, or retired &#8211; you might qualify for a longer stay visa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Avoid overstaying.
