Handles visa issues and extensions for long termers. It's easier and cheaper for
tourists to exit Thailand via the border checkpost at Tammalang pier and immediately re-
enter to obtain a new 15-day tourist visa. You will need to catch the boat and enter
Malaysia before you come back, however.
If you have wheels, hop the border in driveable Malaysia via Thale Ban National Park.
