ORIGINAL POSTER

I am looking for some advice on VISA runs. I currently have a non immigrant ED visa that expires next month. I need to visit a Thai embassy and get a non immigrant B visa. I am living in Chiang Mai. Does anyone know of a local company I can go though? Any advice would be much appreciated. I am not sure where to start. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on visa runs in Chiang Mai to obtain a Non-Immigrant B visa before their current ED visa expires. Various suggestions are provided, including using local companies like Chiang Mai Ambassador, which offers a budget-friendly service with document requirements. Alternatives such as taking a bus to Nong Khai and crossing into Vientiane to visit the Thai embassy are also mentioned, though users warn about the comfort of mini-vans used for these trips.
