What are the visa requirements and duration for a border run from Thailand to Laos?
Border run question.
I need one, before I did go to Cambodia 3 years ago. But that's not possible at this moment.
I stay in buriram so it probably gonna be Laos.
My question is: howlong do I have to stay there? And do I have to pay there for a visa? And howmuch?

1700 baht for Laos visa can come straight back if you don't have history of border runs but thay are getting strict there so be prepared with all documents to hand.

You can also use an agency.They will take care of everything and you're in and out of Laos in no time same day.

Different border crossings have different requirements regarding time spent outside before re-entry and the Laos visa question depends upon what passport you hold so more information required.

C'mon John. Got nuthin? Not even milk? I'll tell ya'bro', and make it ez for ya' .. You can drag your cigar through 9 miles of broken glass just to touch the last bumper of a 3 trailer semi-truck train that's haulin' away my single used prophylactic device for a ticket away to anywhere, even to my hot mum's place. And if you swallow real nice I'll let you listen to my massive gaseous cloud of flatulence over a ta-312/pt field phone while you're at mum's place trimming her grass. She'll even give you a couple quid for a subscription to Miss Manners. I hope that wasn't too harsh for ya'.
