Just got my SETV from the embassy in Vientiane, Laos. Extremely efficient and no hassle. I had a toursit visa then a nonB for 2 years then an exempt stamp and an extension. I am using the Nokair ride and fly service to skip the long minivan ride so I will be entering by land then flying from Udon Thani to Don muang (Domestic flight). Will this give me 30 days or 60 days with my SETV + the 30 day extension as I am entering my land? Thanks :-)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster (O/P) recently acquired a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) from the embassy in Vientiane, Laos. They are entering Thailand by land using Nok Air's ride and fly service and want to know how many days they will receive: 30 days or 60 days. According to community feedback, entering by land with an SETV will grant them 60 days in Thailand, with an option to extend by an additional 30 days. The discussion also touched upon the smooth crossing at the Thai/Lao Friendship Bridge and the O/P's preference to avoid the potential hassles at international entry points.
