ORIGINAL POSTER

Guys just asking for a mate in Buangkan he’s quite restricted with aging etc he’s under the understanding that friendship bridge Nongkhai is still open and is planning on going in and coming back in again on a nonO visa 

My understanding is that a non O is when your married and following your wife back?

He has a retirement visa expires in May what would be his best options 

As far as I’m aware all border crossings into Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar are closed please correct me if I’m wrong 

Appreciate your advice
