ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone! 

I have recently gotten my first 2+1 tourist visa in Vientiane, Laos. I’m looking to get the same type of visa in a month and wondering whether Laos is the easiest way to get it at or there are other countries who give tourist visas just as easily? 

Also if Laos is the easiest and cheapest way to go, which company would you recommend to travel with from Bangkok? 

Thanks in advance! Have a great day!

Every Thai Embassy or Consulate sell this Single Entry Tourist Visa very easy, as long as you meet their requirements. Vientiane is still the only one without requirements.

I've found Laos is the easiest to get a single entry tourist visa. Whatever you do, don't go to Penang.
