ORIGINAL POSTER
I just got an EDU visa in Laos. Is it better to flight to BKK or to cross the friendship bridge by walk? Becouse of all of this problems with immigration that other people have, I am totally afraid even though I never do anything bad.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has obtained an EDU visa in Laos and is contemplating whether to fly to Bangkok or cross the Friendship Bridge by foot. There are concerns regarding immigration issues, despite having a legitimate visa. Most comments clarify that walking across the bridge is not permitted, and express that as long as the user has cash and a valid visa, they should not encounter problems entering Thailand.
