Thanks everyone for your responses. Sounds like an overwhelming thumbs up for me to make a same day Laos land crossing and back into Thailand again with no issues.
that’s reassuring that you and Martin have had no issue. This will be our first land border crossing. Did you encounter the issue that Martin describes in his post about people pestering him?
so I can understand what you mean there…. After we have passed through Laos immigration and get the bus back to the Thai border, we will have a lot of people offering to help us in some capacity? And want to be paid for it?
