Expats living in Thailand without a long-term visa must leave the country every 60 days to renew their Thai tourist visa by visiting a neighbouring country. The main challenge for residents of Koh Samui is that the island, located in the Gulf of Thailand, is isolated from neighbouring countries by the sea. To do a border run, one must first travel to the mainland and then reach the border of a neighbouring country.

Currently, Thailand’s Digital Nomad visa is gaining popularity, which can be obtained with remote work and sufficient income.

Popular border run destinations from Koh Samui

  • Kota Bharu (Malaysia);
  • Penang (Malaysia).

Organised trips can be arranged through agencies that specialise in border runs and visa runs, offering transportation and guaranteeing travel to and from the border back to the island.
