Morning all.

My visa expires soon and I am living in Kalasin. Does anyone know if it's possible to drive to Mukdahan and just walk over the bridge into Laos and return? Thanks very much 🙏

Answer summary

The inquiry revolves around the possibility of walking from Mukdahan, Thailand to Laos as a means to manage an expiring visa. Community responses clarify that walking across the bridge is not allowed; instead, transportation options like buses are suggested for crossing the border.

I think it’s ok but not sure where to park near the border gate in Thai side. I only did by using the Thai Laos International bus this month. I saw cars and pickups crossing the border into Laos very often. I know you don’t need to bring your car into Laos.

I don’t think the bridge is open to motorcycles or pedestrians. You can get the bus from the bridge or the bus station.
