Hey everyone... I am on a 30 day extension after arriving in Chiang Mai on 45 day stamp last month (feb).
I am needing to get a new stamp on my passport before the 24th of April while my visa app is being processed. Ive heard its easy and cheap to grab a bus ticket to Huay Xai, Laos and hop over the border and then back in..
Ive looked into the bus situation to get there and understand where to leave from Chiang Mai but once I get over the border and into Huay Xai, is it simple getting back in? What is the process? in order to get into Laos do we go through an immigration type thing at the border and have to go back through there to get back into thailand?
Ive never done this before and will be traveling with my toddler so just trying to get a good scope while there's still time for wiggle room.
Thanks 🙏
