Does anyone have any experience of doing a (DTV) visa run to Laos via Chiang Khong? Any issues getting stamped back in for another 180 days? Also I heard they insist on you staying at least one night in Laos correct?

Just an update, checked put of laos to chiang khong today either the dtv. Laminated 2 sheets together took half a minute to get through laos immigration and about 3 mins in chiang khong. He did ask me some ridiculous thai questions because my Ed visa and we joked a bit as I'm proficient in speaking,reading and writing.just a heads up,simple

Is it now possible to do a border bounce at Friendship BridgeIV (Huayxay Bokeo Thailand) on the same day? I realize this is often asked, but uncertain of current regulations...

I have made this run several times from Chaing Rai earlier last year, but have heard that later there was a mandatory 2 day stay on Laos side at some of the entry points.

Visa run at chiang khong need to overnight a day but wanna know how about Chiang Saen , thanks

Attention ALL Members

Issues at the land border crossings with Lao in Chiang Rai province (Chiang Saen/SEZ and Chiang Khong/Huay Xai)

I deleted the last post :O as now getting new information from the border run companies

BOTH land borders in Chiang Rai province are requiring people stay out of thailand Chiang Saen says overnight and Chiang Khong says 2 nights out

They are saying it's an order from the immigration dept :/

Sorry to have posted sketchy info. This is the latest we have. If you're up in the Northwest of Thailand and need to bounce you should plan on being IN Lao a day or two.

At this time NO other land borders are are affected...

I have just read rumors that at Laos land borders (Chiang Sean & Chiang Khong) they are currently enforcing a minimum two nights stay for a border bounce. Another made up “rule”? A Pai visa run agency reported so. Not sure if true. Just giving a heads-up. Any recent first hand experiences?

The Thai Laos border of Chiang Khong is open also in the late evening right ?

Hello everyone,

I am doing a border run tomorrow from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong with Min Kanthaya, to renew my visa.
