Anyone done visa run via Chiang Khong? Was it smooth how long did you stay in laos?

Is there a bus go from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong and return back to Chiang Mai the same day? I want to do boarder run to Laos

Thought I would add to the list of those who have done border runs in recent history.

They are being detailed and to the letter going out as well as coming back.

The 2 day rule is in effect though going out the people inside the office said one day was fine, the officer inbound wouldn’t accept that answer without making a phone call. He made three phone calls in the course of giving me my exempt stamp.

So have EVERYTHING required and don’t play!

I went through Chiang Khong into Laos.

👍

Can you get the bus from Chaing mai to Chaing Khong for a border run? Are there any updated rules for this now that they keep changing things?

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
