unless he is not planning an extended holiday in Laos, there's no reason to stay in Laos longer than 10 Minutes

of course not. He could go to any border, park the car on the Thai side (they all have security parking in these places). Go with the flow, cross the border, check out of Thailand check into Laos, stay buy some banana in Laos, eat the banana, turn around in your heels and walk right back to Thailand. Well it will cost him the Laos Visa, but hey he is going to spend valuable capital

. .and once in Laos being an Aussie don't wonder why people are flashing their lights at you. You are driving on the wrong side 😂🤣

my pickup is in my own name and I crossed the border to Laos in my own Thai registered car many times already. You need the magenta book, a "TH" sticker on the back of the car and buy the insurance right t the border

@Neil ***********

for Myanmar I do not know. For Laos the car needs a Magenta Passbook issued from the Department of Transportation from where the car is registered. This book enables you to cross the border to Laos. In Laos he has to buy an Insurance. Everything is fluid, a lot of people do that

ASEAN is a multilateral regulation. Does not include Farang married to Thai. He still has his home countries passport and is treated as such

no, Thai cars are not allowed in Vietnam due to right hand steering & no valid drivers license. Can enter Laos and Cambodia but not yet Vietnam. Maybe sometime in the future

i reckon after the third run he will be fed up with this scheme. However I can understand that not everybody has slack 400,000 Baht sitting somewhere

90-day runs cost money as well 😁. "Valuable" money

you can also apply for the Extension of stay based on being married to a Thai inside Thailand. This will give you a full year and save you from doing the 90 day border runs. However for this you need to meet the financial requirements
