Hello everyone here !

I am on a DTV visa. I am in the city of "Khong Chiam", near the border with Laos.

I want to do a Border run & I wanted to ask someone who knows this land border:

There is a border crossing 30 min from here to Laos ("Chong Mek International Border").

Is it possible to cross into Laos and get a visa on arrival, stay a few days in Laos, maybe in the city of Pakse, and return to the same border back to Thailand & get a new stamp on my DTV ?

They give visa on arrival ?

Do they make problems at this land border for DTV visa holders who have stayed a few days in Laos and want to return to Thailand ?

*BTW - I have a rented scooter. I'm sure they not let me in with it into Laos (or maybe yes ?!).

Can I park there at the border my scooter safely for a few days until I come back into Thailand with a new visa ?

Thank you so much,

Any help Any help appreciated !

My wife has an Extension until 30 Nov 2018 and a multiple re-entry permit. On returning from Laos yesterday, via Chong Mek, her "admitted until" stamp was left blank, although the departure card was stamped until 30 Nov 2018. Does it matter. She'll be leaving the country again in April.
