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 🙏

Does anyone know if a toddler (19 months) also has to do a pcr before departure? He doesn’t need a ThailandPass, but it’s unclear if he needs to test or not. Same for upon arrival and on day 5-7.

Any info much appreciated!!

Hi, I have to go to Laos to get my non B visa. I will have to take my 2-year old daughter with me. Has anyone done this before with toddlers? If so, any advice or info that you wish you had known beforehand?

Thai visa gurus! Anyone here taken the slow boat to Luang Prabang recently? I'm thinking about attempting it on Christmas with a toddler to get new SETVs. Grand adventure or terrible idea? Ways best to go about it?
