Doing my first land border crossing from Vientiane to Thailand tomorrow, going to enter on visa exemption. However, about the 20k bath, how can I get them in Laos? The bank and exchange boooth I tried today only allow 2k thb per person, and only paid with kip in cash, not by card. With this method I’m gonna end up paying 15% and up with withdrawing kip and with the exchange fee to thb.

Any tips of how to get 20k thb in Laos?

I also have a wise account with 25k thb from a condo deposit, I guess they don’t accept this instead of cash?

Thanks!
