FARANG KIWI Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Looking \ planning to do a Border Bounce next month at Chong Mek. Any feedback from anybody that has recently been across just for a new 45 day stamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tod Daniels Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The Chong Mek/Vang Tao is a totally acceptable border to use for a bounce It's not a busy border, and you shouldn't have any issues bouncing out and back there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inThailand Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 A little of the topic... Can you cross easily into Laos by motorcycle from Chong Mek? Get a Laos visa on arrival as well there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a Laos visa on arrival as well there? The most recent post covid experiences I have read suggest that it has been for most riders completely impossible to cross that border on a motorbike. Some other riders were able to cross but had to pay that well known scam (tourguide fee) which is mentioned to be 2000-2500 baht. So we can say that attempting to cross this border just for a border bounce is probably not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
