that was kind of the way that it was here when I first got here. In Chiang Mai there were visa run busses that would leave several days a week and a bunch of foreigners would go up there and do that. They put a stop to that and said that land crossings would not do that anymore but coming in by air was still possible. Then they cut that out. There always seems to be some sort of push to eliminate anyone who is riding tourist visas here and I don't really understand why. Those people are contributing good money to the economic situation here so why push them out? I guess this explains the big push for a lot of people to move to Vietnam in the past couple of years.
