Never had a problem with visa on arrival but I imagine it depends on your country of origin.

If from Bkk. Take the Nakon Chai Air VIP night bus and arrive Nong Khai in the morning.

Go have coffee and breakfast and use ATM if needing Thai money. Depending on the day and date of the month, the border crossing can be done in 30 minutes.

Take taxi or bus on right side of Lao border. I recommend a hotel near the Embassy if you are just visiting , if you have time , downtown riverfront is good fun and has many bars and restaurants.

Remember to book a time at the Embassy

Though not sure you can get those from a land crossing (im from Denmark)

Just wanted to help out but if my information is wrong, i do apologise

@Graham *****

my bad

@Graham *****

gf just crossed the border today at Nong Khai , think its no longer 1 month

@Graham *****

thank you, ill try that then.

Still a twice a year limit, right ?

Is a land crossing not just 15 days (in Vientiane right now and was thinking about flying back for the 30 days)

You pay for insurance with the hope you will never need it.

Its 100.000+ a day for ICU if you, god forbid, had an accident
