Thank you very much for your responses. I am on an extension of stay. Due to the circumstances in which I would be leaving the school/program, I doubt I would be able to obtain the necessary cancellation letter. Would I be less likely to encounter this issue at a different border crossing, for example, Chiang Khong? Are there any border crossings into Laos that would most likely be more lenient about letting me out?

I am currently in Thailand on a single-entry ED visa, which I would need to "reextend" at the immigration office in March. However, I am considering leaving the program and school that are sponsoring my visa. I would like to stay in Thailand for another three or for months, but would not want to attempt to do so on the technically invalid ED visa.

Thus, I have been considering leaving Thailand through Nong Khai in order to apply for a double-entry 60 day visa in Vientiane. Will I have issues leaving with the unexpired ED visa, or when applying for the tourist visa in Vientiane? If anyone has done something like this before, or has any better suggestions for how to do this, please let me know. Thank you.

Haha that's basically my plan - have helmet already, am ordering pads with longboard. ^^Wish I could wear that every time I get on a motorcycle!!

Hello there everyone! I have been here in Chiang Rai for only a bit over two months, and have decided to pursue a new outdoor hobby, longboarding, in order to get me out and about, exercising, and exploring the area a bit more. I haven't gotten my board in the post yet, so I'm not sure yet if this is a great or incredibly stupid idea.

Could anyone recommend me relatively calm neighborhoods or paved roads to practice on, basically ANYWHERE between Mae Chan and southern Chiang Rai city? I live in Nanglae and will be practicing mostly in my own driveway/neighborhood at first (and my school), but I want to use this new hobby as a push for me to go around and explore more of the area. Would a longboard be allowed on Chiang Rai Rajabhat or Mae Fah Luang campuses? Thanks for the help.
