I want to do a quick Chiang Mai to Laos or Cambodia and back for a weekend, or a couple of weekdays. It's easier, cheaper and hopefully more fun than doing a 90-day report in Bangkok. I'm just wondering if anyone's done this lately and could give input on which country is the easiest and most interesting option. Thanks!!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about taking a quick weekend trip from Chiang Mai to either Laos or Cambodia for visa purposes instead of doing a 90-day report in Bangkok. Responses highlight the need for visas for both countries, express a preference for Laos due to its relaxed atmosphere and cost-effectiveness, and remind the traveler about the need for a re-entry permit if they are on an extension of stay.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Remember you're gonna hafta buy a visa to get into Cambodia or Lao. :/ .

It's kind of subjective but I prefer Laos over Cambodia. Vientiane, Savannakhet and Pakse are all chilled out. Great food, nice people and not expensive. I guess it depends on what kind of action you want. If you're on an 'extention of stay' dont forget to buy a re-entry permit before you leave. Have fun whatever country you choose.

Semantics guys. Multiple entry permit vs multiple entry visa. Thanks Tod. You know that I know what I'm doing visa-wise. It's just the bloody nomenclature and mechanics of it that screw me up. ๐
