Took a train to Laos with my girlfriend for a few days. Filled out my TDAC online, walked back over the friendship bridge border, stamped my passport, not a single question asked. In case anyone was wondering about land border crossings 🙏

What happened with your girlfriends, did she managed to get into Laos, get back without asked questions?
Why did you let her walk and not take the bus?

OPWe took the train to the border to Laos, then a car to the Laos immigration. On the way back we took a car from Vientiane to the border, and left no problems. My gf had to pay 40 baht I think. But other than that smooth sailing 👍
