Heading to Laos from Udon this afternoon, do I need any photos or anything to get stamped in or can I just pay and get it?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To enter Laos from Udon, you generally need 1 passport photo for a visa on arrival. However, if you don't have a photo, you can usually get one taken on-site for a small fee. If you plan to apply for a Thai visa while in Laos, you'll need an additional 2 passport photos.

If you don’t have a photo there will be someone there ready and willing to take your photo, at a very small price. Not a big deal.

You need 1 passport photo for visa on entry into laos but I was there 2 weeks ago. Many people didn't have photo but still got visa they just wanted your money. If you plan on getting a Thai visa while there you need 2 passports photos also.
