Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish citizens can visit Laos without a visa during 2018, they will get 15 d exemption
on the border.

Already heard from one of my Finnish friends that he was able to cross to Laos not needing to buy a tourist visa earlier this year.

I don't understand why no one has mentioned Nomsod's brother at least as a possible suspect in any phase of these investigations.
I heard / read earlier that this guy is "femalish", i.e. ladyboy, and "she" may not be seen in public as often as the rest of the family.
Why the silence ? I mean, if the his story is true, that kind of jealous ladyboy could also have been involved in the killing of Hannah,
as well Nomsod could have been.

There is one bus company near the Pattaya Klang and 3rd Rd intersection, located about 200 m towards north on the left hand
side of 3rd road. There are two bus lines, one to Kanchanaburi, the other one to Ubon Ratchatani. Buses look ok, don't know
what their schedules are, but they seem to leave in the morning and evening. Go and check.

I've lived 12 years in Pattaya, most of this time in Jomtien, and always refused to use that baht bus queue. As some other people suggested, better to take baht bus just by walking a little bit towards Jomtien.
But I fully agree with Jingthing, something is getting worse and more violent in these queues, no respect anymore whatsoever to thais or farangs, these baht bus bastards just behave as if their owned the whole 2nd road / Pattaya Tai intersection.
Just a couple of weeks ago, on the other side of the intersection, near the queue to North along 2nd road, I was hit by one taxi driver, since I was not walking fast enough from his way, when he tried to park his baht bus to the queue. A small guy,
could not really hurt me, but tried to escalate things. Of course I couldn't do anything, just walked away.
I've always wondered, if the original reason for their behaviour comes from the fact, that thai people seem not to challenge anything, and accordingly, part of those taxi bastards have started to use that in their own favour. I've seen many times, that thai passangers have been charged full amount, even if the trip stops short of some reason, and thai people never con- front it (or fear to do that).

Yes, 35 Group is a good minibus company, I have used it several times when travelling to Cambodia
(via Koh Chang Thammasat pier).
The new office is located on the 3rd road very near Pattaya Tai intersection, buses leave at the moment
every day 9.00 o'clock in the morning (+ 7.00 a.m, if there are bookings enough).
Minibus fare to the Koh Chang pier is 300 baht, including picking you up in the morning, then 80 baht
for the ferry, if you would like to buy it yourself.

Same type of visa stamp given in Phnom Penh, so perhaps the stickers could be running out now in other embassies, too.
Had a discussion with agent on documents required for current tourist visa applications, and was a bit surprised that there were no need for hotel bookings or any travel ticket into Thailand. They just wanted passport photo, flight out of Thailand (although e.g. Giant Ibis bus booking should be ok ?), and printout of your bank account showing the min. of 20.000 baht or equivalent, in my case, euros.
Have three previous tourist visas in current passport (issued 2016), and two of them from Phnom Penh, no questions, red stamps, but I am retired and now spending more time e.g. in Cambodia than in Thailand every year.
