since the new 60 day VOAs, as well as other visa options, now restrictions have increased & even expanded including most recently certain land borders have been basically ordering & enforcing a minimum of 2 night stay in the country you enter, mostly Northern as told & now personally experienced
Plus flagging more passports they choose especially on 2nd border run… even saying now you cannot do 2 straight border runs a year. Though none of these restrictions are official they are still being implemented and have a horse in certain areas it another’s it’s just as it was so truly just unlock of where your location is as was the case if I had known I would’ve flown out and planted earlier but you can never know for sure even getting more strict with flight reentries 
Chiang Saen is the 1 by boat right… heard that 1 is harder to get to & do but told it was only 1 day there but guess it’s changed to follow rest already
Wish I had known would’ve just done before weekend now I need to do the stay as I need to exit by Friday. Flights too Exp. Now & heard few people still being denied at Bangkok airports.
So then best TOLD just take a bus from cm terminal 2 to Nong Khai border, then cross to Laos but I don’t know this border never did it anyone have experience at this one
thank you yeah not really feeling boat as heard few mixed stories like having to pay a lot more to driver as he knows you have no choice & only way to cross thete
