If you want to go to Laos for business or pleasure, hotel quarantine is only 48 hours since yesterday 4/2/22!

Borders to Laos are finally open and conditions acceptable!

Welcome to beautiful Laos 🙂

TLDR : Answer Summary
Recent updates indicate that border crossings into Laos are now open with reduced hotel quarantine requirements of only 48 hours. Travelers can enter via land borders or by flying into Vientiane. A Certificate of Entry is necessary for both entry points. Various queries in the comments seek clarification on the specifics of the entry requirements and further travel information.

Last time I was there in Feb. The smoke was thick. We needed masks before the Covid breakout.

 Just about to start burning in Chiangmai. If you need mask for Covid, wait until you mix 200 ppm of 2.5 with omicron.

Stay home.

 It's starting now, just when a new Covit strain has hit.

Govt allows burning, but locals can't afford the crops.
