Many reports here of others who make the trip to Lao sound easy. I am planning to go soon.
However, it's what happens next that has confused me.
My salary is straddling the 40k limit and so I'm not sure if I am able to meet the financial requirements. (Hence Savannakhet)
How do I apply for an extension?
Or is there another way?
A colleague of mine has suggested border crossings every 90days.
Is this really an option?
I have a UK passport.
Wife to be is thai with both UK and Thai passport.
