ผู้มีส่วนร่วมที่ไม่ระบุตัวตน 890 Being anonymous show cowardness. Meaning saying things that you would not say if you were not anonymous. It mean that the credibility is lost, therefore cannot tell between trolling and genuine advice. Like being a sexist, for example. It's something that coward do with a random profile picture, but when it's time to show their face, they suddenly act like cute little puppy. People who act decenly don't need to be anonymous, regardless of their job. But people who act like horrible person need to be anonymous to avoid repercussion, which circle back to cowardness. Assume your words, hiding your identity mean you are not confident in yourself and what you are claiming.

I live near that border. Insane that you are arguing so confidently while being so wrong. I've crossed that border multiple times evey year since 2010.

@Paul ******

Incorrect, they've always wanted THB, not USD. They make a 15-20% cut from their own scam conversion when you pay in THB. Thats why they historically will tell you the THB price and make it difficult if you argue with USD. Unless pristine condition, they don't take it. But as I told Tod, they now will say the USD price from the get go. So paying with THB no longer make sense. As for Laos Kip, its unavailable in Thailand. It's a dead currency. So unless you still have some from a previous trip, forget it.

No confusion. Nobody call that border Thanaleng, its Nong Khai or friendship border. If you say Thanaleng 99% won't know what that is. Went we say Nong Khai border crossing and talk about Laos visa, ofc we are talking about the Laos side.

@Paul ******

You are lost in the sauce. Nobody but you is talking about what Thai border officers want. We're only talking about USD vs THB to pay upon entering Laos. It use to be mostly THB only at that border but now they encourage USD. USD had to be flawless, but things have changed.

@Paul ******

Entering Thailand is Free. We're talking about entering Laos from.Nong Khai border. You have to pay for your Lao visa. And not in Kip because its a dead currency.

@Tod ********

They do. In December, they told me the price in USD at the counter, I was stunned. Then, I asked for THB and ofc it was usual 300thb higher conversion. I used an agent this time (few days ago) to go Cambodian border, because well, you know my story, lol!

@Tod ********

Tod, this is Maxim Thibodeau, this changed. They are encouraging USD right now in Nong Khai. They will even tell you the price in USD went time to pay instead of the usual THB. They have a new exchanger right there too. No need to go to the bank.

Nobody said that airport provided extension. Extension can be at the 6 months mark at immigration office, but many will get denied if no proof of funds or no clear plan for the next 6 months. As for coming in, again, not true at all. Officers knlw that certain consulate work with agents, therefore can quiz people coming from Vietnam especially.

@Steve ******

When they extend after 6 months, yes. And at BKK airport many are getting questioned, especially if their DTV come from Vietnam, since agents have contact there.
