We decided the visa run was enough for one day. Dave has been doing some contract engineering work while we’ve been here, and he’s happy to work on the technical writing a bit more before we leave.

We took a longtail boat ride to burma, got our passport stamped and a new visa for Thailand, then came back. An easy, three hour process from door to door.

We first took a songtaew (pickup taxi with benches along each side and a canopy covering) to Thai immigration for our exit stamp. Then a motor scooter ride to the boat dock that was included in the price of the longtail boat (400 baht r/t). We walked back to Thai immigration from the dock (15 minutes) and got our passports stamped. Then a songtaew ride back to the guesthouse. We took a truck labeled with route “4” to get there, and the “3” to get back. The driver will let you know when you’re near.
