Fly to Udon Thani, mini bus to Friendship bridge at Nong Khai. 200 baht. Cross into Laos visa on arrival 50 dollars. Return to Thailand at your leisure 60 days on re entry. Would recommend spending a little time in Laos much nicer people there
Getting out is just as big a problem. What's simpler than looking at a passport. No overstay have a nice journey on your way. Oh no too simple for these morons it's chaos
Why anyone would want to live here permanently is beyond me. Snowbird is the way to do it. And if they haven't got 800,000 baht to leave lying, can they really afford to be here
Just arrived across the border from Laos was required to fill out a TM30. On initial arrival at BKK from UK a couple of months ago no requirement of TM30.
