Hi,

I am driving to Nong Khai soon to do my first border bounce on a non-O, multi-entry marriage visa. I just have a few questions if anyone is kind enough to answer. I've searched the group already, but didn't find my answers.

1. Is there convenient parking at/near the border?

2. Do I write zero days or one day on the card for my stay in Laos?

3. Can I just leave the address blank since I will only be in Laos for a few minutes?

4. Do I need photos?

Any other tips? 

Thanks in advance :)

YES, but it could be that your Immigration Office will tell you it was not needed because the do not enforce this. But as you did not tell where you stay, I can only give the the answer using the law in Thailand.
