Hi everyone, for the Laos land border are there separate lines for us and our Thai spouse? Want to be prepared. Thank you.

from my experience, if with a thai, you can both use the Thai line at that crossing. Used it many times in the past. Used the Thai line with first Thai GF, later with Thai wife. Also once used it alone as there were 0 queue on that, and many foreigner queueing up, so they sent some to the Thai line.
