Which (where) Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate is this?

1.) Fly to Wattay Airport in Vientiane (VTE) from Bangkok (either airport: Don Meuang or Suvarnabhumi);

2.) Arrive at Wattay Airport and buy a Lao Visa on Arrival (Lao VoA) for USD $40 Dollars using Cash (crisp, "new", US Dollar banknotes) there and you will clear Lao Immigration at the same/adjacent counter at the far end of Wattay Airport Lao Immigration Arrivals area;

3.) Ride the bus from Wattay Airport to the Talat Sao (Morning Market) Central Bus Station to catch the bus from there (Vientiane) to Udon Thani Bus Station (the bus stop at Wattay Airport is at the far end as you make a right from exiting the Arrivals Terminal building);

4.) Since you have a DTV (valid Thai Visa/E–Visa), then you cross the Friendship Bridge into Nong Khai and go thru both Lao Immigration and Thai Immigration with the same bus;

5.) Arrive at Udon Thani Bus Station near CentralPlaza Udon Thani, then find your way to Udon Thani Airport;

6.) Catch a flight back to Bangkok from Udon Thani Airport

Don't try catching the Udon Thani Bus and trying to make entry into Laos (the Bus going from Udon Thani Bus Station to the Talat Sao Central Bus Station in Vientiane) as, even with a Lao eVisa, they won't accept foreigner bus passengers, unless you have already have a Lao Visa Sticker beforehand from a Lao Embassy/Lao Consulate in your passport, or, you have a passport from:

Russia, Switzerland, Luxembourg, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, or ASEAN country

Anonymous participant Since you applied for a DTV E–Visa at the Thai Embassy in Yangon, did you receive this Email from the Thai eVisa system BEFORE OR AFTER your DTV E–Visa Fee Payment Appointment to pay USD $400 Dollars Cash at the Thai Embassy in Yangon in person??

if you received this email After paying Cash $400, then during the Payment Appointment in person at Thai Embassy in Yangon, did any of the Thai Embassy staff/officers make any remarks or ask questions about your DTV E–Visa application??

Which (where) Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate is this?

Looking back: do you think perhaps going by rail and taking a train from Penang to Hat Yai (time permitting) might have been easier??

@Mike ******

Congratulations on your Non–O E–Visa! What was your experience getting a Non–O (based on over age 50) E–Visa at the Thai Consulate in Penang, Malaysia?? Did the Thai Consulate request a lot of paperwork or pretty much straightforward?

the first order of business and priority is to open a Thai bank account and getting 800k Baht into that new bank account as soon as possible

after that, it's up to you

1.) Where is this Thai Embassy?? from other Comments, seems to be the Thai Embassy in Singapore?

2.) How much did you pay for Thai E–Visa Fee application? if indeed your DTV E–Visa application was submitted to the Thai Embassy in Singapore, then was your E–Visa Fee SGD $500 Dollars??

USD $40 US Dollars is the price for Lao Visa on Arrival (Lao VoA) and the cash currency should be pristine (clean, "new") banknotes, because the Thai Baht equivalent price will not be determined by current exchange rates, and, honestly, up to each individual officer whether they will take Thai Baht or other currency instead of pristine US Dollars, with an exception for China and Vietnam where their stated Lao VoA price is USD $20
