Hello everyone, I'm looking for information to go to Laos and coming back in Thailand. What is best? How long is it ok to stay not to have problem at the border? Bus or Train is better? How much is the visa in Laos ? (French citizen)

Thanks for your reply

Going to Savannakhet- Thai consulate.

Should I bring Laos Kip or just pay with Thai baht?

Also, how much should the ride cost from the bridge to the consulate?

Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

Hey y'all, just an update on my trip to Laos for visa exempt. It was not necessary to go with dollars because they accept thai baht at Wattay Airport in Vientiane (this detail is not specified in the website). Vientiane is a great city, I really liked it. A nice mix of east and west. In case anyone is interested, they have cool vegan restaurants there. I stayed in a very comfortable and affordable airbnb called Villa de Mekong. I bought the onward ticket but they didn't even ask for it at Don Mueang Airport. Anyway, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Thanks for all of your advice and suggestions! I'm going to get an extension on my visa exempt and stay until the end of April.

Stay cool everybody, it's hot out there.

LAOS / Luang Prabang Visa Bounce //

Hello all, and thanks to those who can provide a feedback. I need to do a Visa Bounce and I am thinking about going (flying) to Luang Prabang instead of Vientiane. Similar flights, different environment (I am interested in the landscape and culture). Do you have any experience in that? Would you reccomend this? thanks

Hi folks! I'm in Chiang Mai and I'll need to do a border run in a month. I'd prefer to not fly, does anyone have any service or recommendation for land border runs?

If so, where do you recommend I go, can I come back on the same day or is that frowned upon— otherwise happy to stay a few weeks somewhere too and keep respect for Thailands laws.

Thanks!

I will come to Thailand on August 5, are there any requirements in place. I will enter on a visa-exempt and will leave Thailand on August 25 again to go to Laos.

I have an international health insurance for 2,000,000 USD and 2 vaccins and a booster shot for Covid.

Is this enough?

If you want to go to Laos for business or pleasure, hotel quarantine is only 48 hours since yesterday 4/2/22!

Borders to Laos are finally open and conditions acceptable!

Welcome to beautiful Laos 🙂

Travelled 10 hours to Laos 🇱🇦 must of been 300 + other tourists, most disorganized process you could ever imagine but fairly easy in most respects for anyone else doing the same, van had a tyre blowout but was on the move again in 10-15 minutes, and hotel was excellent...
