Sorry about the anonymous post I don't usually do it but don't want a certain person bugging me. Done my second entry today at chiang khong and it was smooth asf. Leaving laos he said you only stayed one night but I had my print out to hand and (laminated with dtv print out on one side and soft power document on the other side.a smile and through in 2 mins max. On the thai side exactly the same but took a bit longer as the lady was interested about my cycle touring as I was entering with my touring bike.took about 3 mins max. Showed my dtv but she just passed it back to be with a โคกดีและปลอดภัยเดินทาง.

Looking for recommendations for extending my DTV.

I’m based in Chiang Mai, from what I’m seeing here it seems as if it’s easier to exit the country and come back rather than extending at immigration.

Has anyone done a same day border run from Chiang Mai?

I do also own my own motorbike so that is an option for me (have a 2 year thai license), just not sure it would be all that comfortable

Recently someone mentioned from August 2024 when you do a visa run to Laos you must stay 2 nights and are not allowed to come back same day even on a “O” visa.

Anyone here with recent experience?

Thank you in advance

Any new info on Mae Sai/Myanmar border??

The last info I read had it that it is a more complicated process than it used to be..in that one also has to collect and pay for transit permissions on Thai side even before exit , then as used to be..enter briefly , pay for Myanmar visa then cross back to thai side..

BTW...this is for an already initiated multi entrance visa..and will go to Chiang Khong/Huaixai as I had before if there are complications on Mai Sai route.

Hey guys!

We have two questions. 😊

1. We have already extended our visa once in Thailand but would like to stay a bit longer.

We heard we could extend our visa for another week?

2. After Thailand we would cross into Laos. Any idea if we can get a visa on arrival in Chiang Khong in the north of Thailand?

Any help would be AMAZING!

Thank you ✨🙏🏼
