MAE SOT VISA RUNS

The turnoff to Mae Sot before the bridge

Traffic from Bangkok turn left once you see this sign.

VISA RUNS FROM BANGKOK: If going to Mae Sot for your visa run from Bangkok make sure you take the diviation before Nakhon Sawan to Kampaeng Phet. This cuts off a few miles from going to Nakhon Sawan. The drive as we said will take you all of 6 hours from Bangkok and once you get 3kms before Tak you will see the sign saying Mae Sot and you take a left. It is well signposted and you do not go over the bridge at Tak. Just stay on this road all the way 84kms. Rule of thumb 60kms = 1 hour driving.

HWY No1 at turnoff to Mae Sot heading South to Bangkok.

VISA RUNS FROM CHIANGMAI: When you drive from Chiangmai over the bridge at Tak (keep to the main road as theres a turnoff to Tak about 1 km from the bridge and this takes you in a figure 8 over another bridge so keep from this turn off. If you do take it you go back to the main road over the bridge and you will see a sign directing you to Mae Sot. You basically go around in a circle on the other side of the Maei River.

The other bridge at Tak. Turn left and drive along the river then drive round about to come back on the Styate HWY 1.It is signposted then travel on the main road to the right turnoff to Mae Sot 2 kms.

Turn right over the Min HWY bridge to Bangkok / Kaempaeng Phet about 3 kms on HWY101/ SH 1-- then look for the sign Mae Sot which is very clear & turn right over the bridge & HWY route 105.If you leave early at 4am from Chiangmai the drive is nice as its a drag driving the Lampang to Tak route??? You then get to Mae Sot at around 9am or a little before to do your visa run & out by 10am.
