Hi guys. 

Any feedback on Huay Xai border crossing? 

Coming from Laos to Thailand, anyone been denied entry from this checkpoint? * European passport 

I am not doing a border run, I’ve been out of Thailand for 6 weeks. My last stay was 60 days left for a week and then 20 days. And I also stayed one month in April, so 3 visits in the last year.
