Fellow members, I am on an O visa based on marriage 12 month ME, my 90 days expires Dec 25th (so no chance of forgetting) I currently live in Hua Hin and planned to go on holiday to Vietnam for a week in December which satisfies the immigration law. After a month or more of discussion on the trip, I now learn that my wife has a University reunion on December 29th in Kalasin, (Thai people are not so good at conveying plans, even after 10 years of marriage in U.K.) so I now think it easier if I go to Vientiane for a holiday instead of Vietnam, I am planning on taking the car across the friendship bridge, what documents will I need, will I need a tourist visa to Laos and what issues am I to encounter ?
Not forgetting 20,000b evidence on my return.
TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, currently on a 12-month O visa based on marriage residing in Hua Hin, is considering changing holiday plans from Vietnam to Laos. They seek advice on necessary documents for crossing into Laos via the friendship bridge, ask if a tourist visa is required for Laos, and mention needing to present 20,000 baht as evidence on their return.
