As is known, for citizens of the Russian Federation free visa inThailand is valid for 30 days. Considering the expensive flight and extremely cheap accommodation in the “Kingdom of Smiles”, many tourists go there for a longer period. In order not to break the rules and not pay a fine, the Visa-Run program is practiced. What is it? You go to a neighboring country, and then return to Thailand - and get the right to stay in this kingdom for the next 30 days. Why not combine business with pleasure? After all, “a simple Visa-run” costs from 1,800 baht / rubles, and a two-day excursion from Pattaya to Cambodia with overnight in a 4-star hotel, lunch and dinner in restaurants, visiting various interesting places is only twice as expensive.
Of course, it all depends on where exactlyThailand, you relax, and from whom you buy a tour. If you are coming from the islands of Koh Samui, Phangan, etc., a transfer to the border will raise the cost (and duration) of such a trip. A significant role is played by intermediaries - Russian firms and hotel operators. For example, excursions to Cambodia are very popular in the city of Pattaya. Prices for them in Russian agencies start at 4,800 baht, while local operators can find permits for 3,500.
Of course, you will be frightened that cheap tours are lesscomfortable, transfer is unreliable, guides are not prepared and the like. In fact, everything is not so. Tourists who bought vouchers for three and a half and eight thousand baht can ride in one bus. At least, this is the way minivans leave the city of Pattaya. Excursion to Cambodia, reviews of which are mostly very good, is an unforgettable journey. True, its program is so intense that many tourists sleep off after a day. Therefore, there is an option to go watch the Khmer country for three days and two nights. The price difference is small: Cambodia is much cheaper than Thailand.
Before talking about the travel program,It is necessary to say a few words about this. You need to know what documents you should have with you so that the excursion from Pattaya to Cambodia does not end at the border. Firstly, a valid passport. Secondly, the air ticket from Thailand back home. Thirdly, the migration card, which you were given at the entrance to the “Kingdom of Smiles”. You must also take two photos (3 x 4). It is important to remember: if you come to Thailand with children entered into your passport, you will also have to go on a trip with them.
