I was recommended to try to transit if by air to Chiang Mai if I wasn't prepared to go via a border crossing. I didn't have any ED visa myself. That's just to get in, beyond that you have to make arrangements for appropriate visa for long term stay.
you know it's sad when a poster makes negative remarks about others as you just did. Perhaps better to thank people for the responses that were useful and not act so sensitive about others who actually have a sense of humor, maybe???
thank you. can u recommend a website for the Laos visa? I've used private company for Vietnam but not sure whether to go with government or private company for Laos much appreciated Brandon.
