Cert needs to also come from Thailand and signed by a hospital that on the lists of hospitals...just can't run into a doctor's office

@Chad *******
we have seen broader acceptance of med cert issued by a doctors office. But its up to Immigration Officer to accept it or not.

this doesn't apply to every tourist, does it? I thought it was for people who visited the high risk countries in last 14 days.

crossing in with an SETV doesn't count towards your 'max x2 land crossings per year'

Which in Laos, Savarnakhet or Vientiane?

Vientiane looks closely at your visa and entry history in your passport.
