  1. my info is you can carry max 2 million baht from Thailand across the friendship bridge per cross if you want more spread it out over days

     

    fx at the laos  money changers in Vientiane is both cheap and available without restriction for my meager amounts both into and out of kip. didn't ask about big amounts as didn't score a visa nor bank accounts.

     

    Cambodia is paying at least 6.5% for 4 year fixed USD, see for example ftb bank fixed more for khmer reil.

     

    not aware of any in/out restriction in cambo but you will need a 6 month visa or work permit to open at most banks

    . khmer visas are somewhat easy at an agent and cheaper than laos all up. have been told work permits can be purchased if you dont qualify for retirement 55yo plus

     

    money laundering scam limitations are in effect if you send to some countries

    As for scamming tuk-tuks, I haven't yet found one in Luang Prabang like that.  In Vientiane yes, but in LP I use tuk-tuks to/from the airport for 50,000 kip maximum = 170 baht, which seems reasonable for an airport run.

     

    see how you go at;  taxi scammers at bkk airport

    my google maps says 10 minutes to airport from LP center so say 10 km?

  3. can we have clarification here, all one needs to do is walk into LP immigration with passport, had over 600usd and shortly a 1 year multi-entry visa will appear?

    have tried similar in vientien some time back and was directed to some other place, perhaps labour department.  didnt figure out how to get there so gave up, werent told of the other places requirements.

    you also mention something different for retirees, more info on that process? with no work permit cannot open a bank account even with the long term visa?
