Can you do a border bounce on foot at the Chiang Khong border with Laos?
Hi.
Has anyone done a border bounce at Chiang Khong border with Laos in the North on foot?
I mean, parking the car/bike on Thai side and walking over? Is that possible?
Hoping Tod Daniels sees this 😅

Answer summary
Travelers cannot walk across the bridge at the Chiang Khong border with Laos; they are required to take a bus and pay a fee of 25 baht each way. Following up on vaccination requirements is also important, as travelers may face restrictions when re-entering Thailand if they lack proof of at least two vaccinations.

Try Bangkok Post or the National. It is in both although not ratified by the government yet. And no commencement date yet but suspect it will be January 8th.

If you want Tod to see this you need to post in his group, as he's not in this one. But he'd probably say to post in a Facebook group local to that area.
