I’m 100% with you about the association with taxis and the class struggle ,,,I never even used to get in a tuk tuk when I first came to Asia and I haven’t been in a tuk tuk in over 20 years ,,,,Laos is a communist country so look on it as your helping the driver to feed his family if push comes to shove and you do need to get one ,,,I doubt you will though ,,,I never use a taxi in Chiang mai ,,I have a bicycle thst cost me 2000 baht to buy and I have been all over Chiang mai on it ,,,you can easily save Money ,,but the taxi driver of today is the working class worker in your country ,,help them sometimes ,,enjoy Laos and slow down

Slow down and enjoy vientenne for two days ,,you need your passport anyway

@Michael *******

I’m a budget traveller as well ,,my advise to you is just get the local transport what ever that may be ,,,people are saying 20 minutes by taxi so a local bus would be 1 hour maximum ,,,so you still have time to get that early appointment…if local bus is going to slow or there isn’t one ,,bite the bullet and get a taxi ,,,it will only be the cost of a few plates of food ,,so if you need to go without food to get the appointment do it ,,you need to wait 2 days in vientenne anyway so you can cover the cost of taxi easily by sacrificing something else ,,if you really are on shoe string budget ,,,,you should still be able to get coconuts ,if you can’t handle fasting or cutting down on food for a few days to cover cost of taxi ,,,,it’s not selling out by jumping in a taxi ,,if it gets you there on time ,,,.don’t listen to the old geezer saying your in trouble ,,I have been on the road for 37 years in Asia

You need to renew every 10 years not just compulsory renewal at 70

@Rob *****

from where ?

Best place for answer is the school be studies at ,,,if he is serious student and the school is known as a reputable school with immigration he should be able to renew another year ,,if he’s just using education visa to stay longer he will run into problems
