Which Office

[RubbaJohnny]

1

We reside in Changwat C Rai where there are 3 immigration posts

I read that since Feb 15th must use local district does this mean Jangwat Tabol or Ampur

In past have used Tak Bangkok Ranong and M Sai depending on convenience

Our nearest office is C Khong but aside from being told to go to Brisbane or come back after lunch next yr etc they come under M Sai so are nervous to take any initiative without ok from top brass at M Sai

Do not misunderstand me they are v friendly when doing 90 days free letters for driving permit and declined "gifts' as the teak trade from Lao out the window sems to juice their 4x4s and karaokes etc

Folks here use bigger Anglophone Mae Sai

Can this continue?

I read Don muang in Marios excellent list is to close so will the immi point go too?I cannot see why they need it for adomestic airport.

3 Once went to a visa 90 day one stop shop nr our hotel in Lad Prao are v fast modern all spoke English enough etc

Can you deal with these folks for extensions as I often overnight nearby before flying

4 NB when wanting an re-entry at Swampy 3rd Feb told to go down town as Immi guys there too busy/couldnt bebothered UNBELIEVABLE at Siams main hub or were they afraid of the demos?

Thank all you old experienced hands I can never repay you all but the thirsty visiting the Mekhong may pm for cocktails in mean time will try post a map of our border points

There are also several local borders where locals can cross borde shop and a couple where you may stroll unmolested over for apeak at the Lao soldiers smoking between 10 mins aday work breaks!

Chok dee from the elastic frontier

Finally be happy to post maps of our 3 local offices

There are also other points where Thai and Lao Burmese cross for wives Asean shopping trips

NB msn virtual earth maop wrong google and expedia show old checkpoint not new offices here 2km fromborder adjacent copshop
