Am I missing something but how can a shared cost drive to Ranong be more expensive than a normal visa run.If you are just sharing the cost of the fuel between 2-3 people it should be cheaper ?
The same Visa-Run you can get by minibus with about 9 people for THB 1,800.- incl. Visa for Burma, Boat-Trip and meals, that means THB 16,200.- for the Visa-Run-Company.
If you "run private" each "runner" has to pay the fee of THB 850.- for the Burma-Visa + boat by himself.
With shared costs youīll have to calculate the expenses at least you will have only because of this trip (not insurance, services etc.) - but not the fuel only.
By the way the visa-run-companies are getting special prices for the boat trip and lunch.
If you travel with 3 people the expenses are about THB 2,000,- per person (incl. Burma-Visa, boat and up to what you order for lunch) and nearly the same, than by minibus.
It would be cheaper with 4 or more people, but itīs not convenient any more if you donīt have a minbus
