I am up in Sukhothai at the moment and need to renew my visa. Does anyone know of any Visa Run companies in or around the Phitsanulok area who provide visa runs to Laos. Many thanks

Just take a bus up to Udon Thani, then catch the bus from there to Vientiane. Time it so that you arrive in vientiane early morning. Apply that morning you can pick up your visa the following day, then go back to the the bus station in vientiane reverse the process...easy.

But isn't that a 15 day visa?

Better off to fly back to Bangkok (or Chiang Mai) and get a 30 VIA.

jantrevor, you're probably a bit confused: the decrease from 30 to 15 days, has nothing to do with a visa!! It has everything to do with the visa-exempt (and that's NOT even a visa on arrival).

What Mike is suggesting, is to get a regular tourist visa of (probably) 60 days, preferably a m.e.

The Thai Embassy will give you a 6o day tourist visa for 1000 baht. If you ask you can get a double entry for 2000 baht. With extensions and visa runs that gets you to 9 months.

if u need just a 15 days stamp, take the bus to Tak (1 hr), hop on the next bus or van to Mae Sot, tuktuk to the bridge walk over to Burma, get your stamp. 500 baht on the Burmese side. That should be the easiest. The trip to tak is very smooth, the Mae Sot route scenic.
