But can't you apply for a tourist visa in a neighbouring country of the country where you are now? Many allow applying by mail.

I was in Budapest, Hungary. They don't accept visa applications unless you are Hungarian or have a residency permit for Hungary. I am now in Riga, Latvia and they don't even have a consulate. The closest consulate is in Helsinki, which is an expensive city and it takes 4 days to do the visa. My trip is in less than 3 weeks so I don't think I have time to mail an application anyway and sending my passport in the mail scares me.

Stick to your plan mate and do the double entry visa in Laos as suggested...... I have always flown in without a return ticket and fortunately never been asked for one and use the same system that you have planned for a long stay in Thailand.

Is this the immigration office in Chanthaburi province?

thai-bank-swift-codes.htm This used to be on Thaivisa homepage but do not know if it is still there but it has most swift codes.

Visit family in Petchabun occasionally and it always seems to be hot up there.

Did the trip a few years ago on a 110cc scooter from Thali (Thailand) and and travelled on road number 4. Between Xayabouri and Luang Praban the road was really terrible and still had to cross the river by ferry but did notice that they were building a bridge further down the river so was just wondering if the road has improved and if the bridge has been completed?

Well, when first entering Laos, I thought too what terrible roads, after 10 days on the roads, I would say the road is quite ok. As almost everywhere you have to circle the potholes and they might be sometimes giant.

There is a "new" road half way between LP and Xayabouri, (bridge finished btw), which leads over the mountains direction Vang Vieng.

Really good roads I found around PakBeng > Thai border 2W, even the whole distance from Oudomxai > Pakbeng was not too bad.

Good stretch of road I found from Pak Mong > Oudomxai, but it lasted only for 11Km, 2 landslides in between. The remaining 80Km were the worst of the trip, giant potholes, no tarmac seen for 80Km. And plenty of stupid Chinese who took PakMong for Paris and Oudomxai for Dakar Chasing the 100.000 $ around like Carlos Sainz, no respect for themselves, other living creatures or the material. Well a few parts could be found along the road, gave me always a big grin

That night I took shower in full gear, to get the dust off.

Another really rough piece of track was from Thatom > Muang Khoun

So those two are really to avoid next time. A worn out rear suspension plus a pillion rider didn't make it better .

Thanks for that and I thought the roads were mostly terrible but found road 4 one of the worst. Going over the mountain from Vang Vieng to Laung Praban the road was not all that bad but other drivers on the road made for some exiting riding when you come around a bend and find a bus cutting the corner on your side of the road but in the end I was glad that I did not have to claim on my travel insurance and enjoyed staying in the remote villages on the way.

This was posted at the entrance when I went in January.....

I think that the Yamaha Nouvo or Honda Airblade are a good choice as both are automatic flat foot versions and have twin shocks at the back and also a large enough storage space under the seat and are comfortable to ride....have rented these on a few occasions and was quite impressed with the performance. As someone has suggested maybe rent first and then make your choice.

Got 60m done last month in Chanthaburi area...they moved the LV pole because it was in the new driveway and installed 2 more concrete poles with a 60amp switch on the last pole and from there connected to the house all this for the grand price of Bt14000. PEA relocated the pole in the driveway for Bt3000 and the rest of the job(Bt11000) was done by a private electrician who signed everything off.
