Popped up to Laos border today, ate lunch and came back. Got stamped in no questions asked, despite being in LOS over 10 months this year, and having been harassed and almost kicked out when arriving to Don Muang airport few months ago. So the kind 2 gentlemen from this group were spot on... seems land border never cares, the airports are where all the corruption, hassling, etc happens. Border police did seem to look at my stamps a bit today to make sure I wasn't over 2x land crossings (I assume) and maybe I got a nice guy but he didn't even hesitate. I'm hoping new routes from Udon and CM airports prove to be less hassling than Bangkok airports soon...
