Is it better to fly to Bangkok or cross the Friendship Bridge by walk with an EDU visa?
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.
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the best way to enter Thailand from Laos after obtaining an EDU visa. Some comments clarify that walking across the Friendship Bridge is not permitted; travelers must use shuttle services instead. Others reassure that having a legitimate visa should not result in any issues during entry.
