I thought they have border run companies too, why not use them for the ride. Sounds easier than having to use local transport.

people confuse the rules about not asking for or mentioning agents that get people visas inside the country with the fact it's totally OKAY to talk about companies that take you to the border to get a new visa exempt entry or that take you to a thai consulate in another country to get a visa.

We're not allowed to ask about those in here and I feel like it wouldn't make that much of a difference in price honestly. You can't beat the price of local transport imo

Why not get the greenbus to Chiang Rai, then get the local bus to Mae sai,mit cost's about 30 baht and takes and our. It's comfortable enough, and cool with all the windows and doors open.

Yes, Chiang Rai I meant 😂 . Oh well, you have your ticket straight to Mae Sai now for Saturday. But in future, if the tickets to Mae Sai are sold out, you can get the greenbus to Chiang Rai then get the local bus feom there (I usually do this anyway, give my legs a stretch and have a beer)
