What is the price for the VOA to LAOS at Mukdahan crossing? I remember last year the won't accept my 35US and they forced me to pay 1540THB but I just checked and now 35US are roughly 1100THB... Anybody been there recently?

Went two weeks ago it was 1500bt.

It is $35 US or 1500 baht. The 1500 baht has been the same for many years.

It seems you applied outside normal working hours and they charged you 40 baht ($1 US) for overtime.

Weekday or weekend. Overtime on weekends.

Make sure you have good crisp US bills.

The official USD amount depends on the nationality of the applicant. $30 to $42, as far as I remember. Make sure that you have pristine banknotes, preferably the exact amount. I've never had a problem with them accepting my USD, but YMMV. I either just hand over dollars right away, or ask (politely) if I can pay in dollars in case they ask for Thai baht.

 

They tend to quote a fixed rip-off amount in THB, for as long as I remember. If you pay in THB, it's always more expensive.
