I'm a USA citizen, they asked for 40. dollars or 1700. baht. I just noticed that laos stamped me in for 2 months instead of the usual 1 month, is this something new ?
For Gov.schools here...the school will send you to the immigration forensics dept. pay 100.baht ,pick it up in a week. all they do is check if you are a criminal in thailand. useless.
