@Alastair ******

I do have an open mind. After living here for 12yrs the novelty is gone. Perception changes. There are just betrer options for a visa run. Maybe if I was still new to SE asia I would have a more positive opinion.

@Shannon *******

Laos is boring AF. Vientianne is shit and nothjing to do or see. I have been there for visa runs and hated the place. I would also not go there if the visa was 60 bucks. It is shit and not worth it. I would think thats what the OP meant

@Brandon ***********

definitately agree w this. Sone nationalities are easier than others. Thailand is not the easiest overall. I think Cambodia and Philipines are the 2 easiest visa wise. Vietnam if you are american was also a good choice a few years ago but things may have changed since. I am not updated on Malaysia and Indonesia.

What are the experiences and challenges of crossing from Poipet, Cambodia into Thailand?

Alex *******

If you were on a tourist visa you were extremely lucky to have made back.

The border bounce success rate in Poipet is ZERO.

Is it possible to purchase a resale Elite Visa in Thailand with over 20 years validity?

Alex *******

As far as I know the more recent elite visas are no longer transferable. At least that is what I heard from someone who purchased one before covid.

Can my landlord call the police and immigration if I can't pay my last month's rent in Bangkok?

Alex *******

Civil issue. Police or immigration are just empty threats. The only thing they could do is take you to court which is not financially viable. You have nothing to worry about.
