Currently 30 days in on 60 day tourist stamp..chiang rai immigration seems to be playing long ball on yellow book.. everything provided to district office..no requests for more documents.. chiang rai immigration said they had to send to chiang mai...???flooding chiang rai.. not true for central office chiang rai.. office. ... I want to do the border run to chiang saen .. give myself more time due to immigration playing long ball. I would appreciate.. the latest information on crossing into Laos and back.. thank you for your intelligent responses in advance..

Is it confirmed now that when entering Laos at the Savannakhet checkpoint, leaving Laos the same day at Savannakhet checkpoint is no longer allowed by Laos Immigration? If same day border bounces are no longer allowed, does anyone know how many days must be spent in Loas before being allowed to exit Laos and reenter Thailand at the Mukdahan checkpoint. Just need to know if I need to book a room in Savannakhet.

Need some advice. I will be doing my 2nd border run in Loas tomorrow. I am currently waiting for my paper work to be completed for my non-B visa at a job I just started. Do you guys know once I get my paperwork completed for my non- B visa, do you think I will be able to enter Loas again on land, since I will be getting a different type of visa?

I’m looking at visiting Thailand in January for a month in Issan then crossing the border into Laos for a month, returning to Thailand and heading South for the 3rd Month. I will have a London-Bangkok return ticket. Will that ticket be accepted by the airline on arrival?

Advice on how to reach Savannaket.

My plan is to take a flight to Nakhon Phanom. The question is there a bus operating from the airport straight to Savannaket? Or if I cross the border in Nakhon Phanom is there a bus on the Laos side to Savannaket?

Can I go to Laos for 1 day and then come to Thailand and have a new 30 days for Thailand

Hi everyone, for the Laos land border are there separate lines for us and our Thai spouse? Want to be prepared. Thank you.

Hi, I will be doing my land border run to Laos this weekend. Have anyone of you been asked to show the following recently?

Thank you. 🙏

Posted this on another local group But thought I’d ask here as have had good assistance here before… i was asked recently by visiting friend in bkk who is here now, if you can do land border crossing at Chiangsean border since maesai border been closed to tourists now for weeks due to “unrest” happening there 😔

Has anyone crossed here recently? Im getting mixed consensus if only for ( local/ non foreign) crossing

Any other suggestions for a quick land crossing border?

Firsthand experience, appreciated

Thank you in advance👍🏼

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 🙏
