What to expect when crossing the Thai border into Laos at Friendship Bridge no. 4 for a new entry stamp?

Hey folks,

I plan to do my first overland border crossing this week at Friendship Bridge no. 4 into Huay Xai, Laos. Is anybody familiar with that one?

I’ve got two exempt stamps already this year (both airport entries) and i’ve extended both times. Am i likely to encounter issues with Thai immigration if i leave the country and attempt to come back on the same day, or is that par for the course? Would i be better staying two or three nights in Laos?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer,

Matt 😁
