Hello everyone, 

 

I was talking to my friend recently, I was thinking of going to Luang Phrabang in Laos. A friend of mine told me that now there is a way to get to Laos (make visa) via Phu Sang in Phayao. That is very close to my place, about 100 km away. 

Is anyone familiar here with the procedure of how it all works there? Is there any bus from anywhere I can take on Thai side or Laos side? Maybe anything similar to Sombat Tour. Any kind of info would be appreciated. I have also checked plane tickets, those were quite expensive around 8000 bht. 

 

Any info would be appreciated.

It was reported in another newspaper that I cannot link here that the Lao PDR opened the Pang Mon checkpoint in Sayaboury province opposite Thailand’s Ban Huak checkpoint in Phu Sang district of this northern border province on Feb 1.

 

I would be surprised if provincial buses did not run on both sides of the border.

      Anwar Ibrahim's Thailand Visit: High-Stakes Meeting with Thaksin

      In this photo released by the Thailand's Government Spokesman Office, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, left, shakes hands with Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, right, in Bangkok, Thailand, Thursday, April 17, 2025. (Thailand's Government Spokesman Office via AP) Malaysia's Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, touches down in Bangkok for his second working visit since taking office in 2022. While on the agenda is a talk with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, eyes are fixed on his meeting with Thaksin Shinawatra, Paetongtarn's father and Anwar's informal advisor. Anwar's arrival at the Government House was followed by a critical gathering at the Rosewood Bangkok Hotel with Thaksin. The meeting, initially rumoured to include Myanmar's junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing, could steer pivotal regional discussions. However, no official confirmation of the trio's assembly has been made yet. The official discourse between Anwar and Paetongtarn will reportedly delve into strengthening the Thai-Malaysian Annual Consultation framework. Both leaders are expected to forge further collaboration areas, aiming to bolster ties between their nations. Furthering ASEAN's objectives this year, under Anwar's chairship, stands as a high priority for this diplomatic encounter. Beyond bilateral matters, Anwar and Paetongtarn's talks touch on broader regional and international issues. With pressing topics on the table, their discussions could impact policy directions, influencing regional dynamics in Southeast Asia. Collaborative efforts spanning economic zones, trade agreements, and security measures will likely steer their conversations. In conclusion, Anwar Ibrahim's visit holds significant diplomatic weight. Key meetings, notably with regional influencer Thaksin, could redefine strategic facets between Malaysia and Thailand. The outcomes of these discussions might set precedence for regional unity and collaborative agendas in ASEAN. These diplomatic manoeuvres underscore a hopeful prospect for more cohesive South-East Asian relations. Based on a story by Thai PBS World -- 2025-04-18

      US Expat in Thailand Faces 10 Years for Threatening US Senator

      The only amateur I would claim being right now is, amateur machinist, which is one of my hobby's. Why would I need xanax? Are you a psychiatrist that likes to drug your patients? Do you work for the U.S. Veterans Hospital. Those guys love to drug their veteran patients! Based on your angry posts and angry claims about people, I suspect that you would be better suited to taking xanax. But, perhaps I was wrong about you being a paranoid schizophrenic. You may just be paranoid as described in wikopedia: Paranoia is an instinct or thought process that is believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety, suspicion, or fear, often to the point of delusion and irrationality.[1] Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself (e.g., "Everyone is out to get me"). Paranoia is distinct from phobias, which also involve irrational fear, but usually no blame. Making false accusations and the general distrust of other people also frequently accompany paranoia.[2] P.S. Not everyone hates me. Just people like you!

      Harvard University resists

      Below are quotes from prominent Republicans picked out by long time Republican pollster Sarah Longwell in a thread posted to X on Wednesday. She explains, "Because Republicans believed the IRS under Obama was targeting conservative groups, there are tons of clips of R elected officials passionately arguing that the government targeting the tax exempt status of groups because of their political beliefs is un-American and illegal. FYI." 1. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) proclaimed that the IRS targeting political adversaries is "as wrong as things can be in this country." 2. Vice President JD Vance, at the time not in political office, told Fox News' Laura Ingraham, "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“ 3. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), "I can also assure you that were this a Republican president, a Republican Attorney General, and a Republican IRS that were targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies." 4. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, when he was serving as the senator for Florida, had a similar message. "Great news folks. @SecRubio will not stand for the federal government or its agencies targeting institutions or organizations because of their political beliefs. That’s third-world stuff that can’t be allowed to happen here.'' 'I would speak out vigorously!' Republicans who once decried IRS weaponization now silent Oh, how the lambs are silent now!
