Louise has a one year visa to be in Thailand but she has to leave and re-enter the country every 90 days. As she's been there 3 months on 4 October, she needs to leave the country. Usually that's quite easy because she can just cross the Friendship Bridge in Mae Sot to Myawaddy in Burma. However that border between Thailand and Burma has been closed since July this year so she had to find another border to cross.
Today she took the 6 hour bus journey to Chiang Mai, where she's staying in the lovely Amari hotel. Tomorrow, Thursday, she travels to Mae Sai in the very north of Thailand to cross the border to Tachieik in Burma. That's another 5 hr bus journey ( I think). She has 1 hour to cross the border, re-enter Thailand, buy cheap DVDs then get the bus back to Chiang Mai to collapse in her lovely Amari Hotel bed before returning to Mae Sot on Friday.
Good luck, Louise and don't sleep in for that bus!

Louise has her visa and the trip to Mae Sai went well thankfully. She's safely back in Chiang Mai and meeting up with her previous house mates tonight and tomorrow. Phew. So that's her sorted for the next 3 months.
