ORIGINAL POSTER

Today I am in Vientiane and received my tourist visa from the Thai Embassy valid for 60 days within the country. Are there any rules I need to know regarding flying back to Bangkok versus taking a train?  Is land travel allowed if I want the full 60 days?  Thailand has so many rules I don't want to make any mistakes!
