its been well reported by people doing border bounces in Laos that they have to stay overnight

"We got quite a few reports yesterday of people up in Chiang Rai trying to bounce out/back at the Chiang Khong/Huay Xai border that they have to spend the night IN Lao before they can come back.

It appears at this time it's limited to Chiang Khong; as in there were no reports from Chiang Saen where you cross by boat or Nong Khai & Mukdahan/Savannakhet was stamping people out/back like normal.

Just a heads up people IF you're trying to bounce out/back to get a new free entry stamp at the Chiang Khong border pack a change of clothes and tooth brush

The thing is with those companies they are not like the bounce companies in Bangkok/Pattaya where you pay a price and everything is included getting out or thailand in and out of Cambodia and then back in to thailand.

The bounce companies in Chiang Mai are more like glorified taxi services. They pretty much just take you there and cut you loose, you get across on your own, buy the Lao visa on arrival, pay your way across friendship bridge and back etc.

Anyway just wanted to let the people know up in that area of thailand how the border bouncing is working as of yesterday afternoon.

this is an announcement from one of the border bounce companies in Chiang Mai."
