Chong Mek border run - Any one done it?

[Everything Picture]

Feb Update:  I was in and out within 30 minutes yesterday.  No demand of 2.5k for immediate return and no requirement of stay in Laos.

Didn't use border run agent? 

Good result

Did not.  Drove my car.  Parked in front of the stalls on the side in front of the big building.  A couple of cars were clamped as they were in the middle (you'll know what I mean if you go) and there are signs saying don't park there between 09:00-16:00.

No fingerprints.  2000 baht or $40 at Laos side. Friendly IOs on both sides.

Just returned from a morning 'Border Bounce' at Chong Mek.

    

Absolutely NO issues. 

   

Just like the above post - friendly IO staff on both sides, to Laos and back in 30 minutes.

 

This was on the back of a 60 Day VE  >  60 Day Border Bounce >  30 Day Thai Extension and then today 60 Day VE via Land Border.

Now will do the Non - O 90 Day then Retirement Extension.

I also had no issues here when I went in January. Planning to attempt one more next month...
