Canada more expensive, Japan and Switzerland free.

Cheaper to pay in $ than Baht . Just check that the $ bills are in good condition - they sometimes reject damaged or marked notes .

How many days I will get on my reentry in Thailand by land from Laos?

30 or 45?

 

Thanks anyone

Until March 31st you will get a 45 day visa exempt entry.

the last time I did this trip in September 2022. i was charged 50USD for a Laos visa. I am a Uk national. Seems to be a bit of an arbitrary figure?  Be nice to pay the correct amount????

That is the government published amount. https://laoevisa.gov.la/fee-calculator

Just came back from Laos trip                              $40.00 USD     or Thai Baht                Cash only

If you acquire your Lao visa through the e-visa site, it costs more than if you get the visa on arrival, or get the visa from a Lao embassy. The trade off for the increased price is that (as long as you are arriving at a point of entry that allows the e-visa) it saves time at the border and space in your passport.
