Can I go to Laos and get a visa at the Thai Embassy and fly or bus back in 2-5 days later back to BKK?
Answer summary
Yes, you can travel to Laos and apply for a Thai visa at the Thai Embassy there. It is typical for expats to take a short trip to Laos for this purpose, with many confirming that the process is efficient, taking about an hour. Note that if traveling to Vientiane, you need to book an appointment online for the visa application. Visa on arrival is available in Laos, but ensure that you have a vaccine card for entry.
