mgsrus Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Anyone know of a reputable, and of course still in business, visa run service operating out of CM and going to Vientiane? I need to get a double entry '60 day' tourist visa before the 17th and understand that's the best place to go. Alternative question: What's the best currently I could get at the KL embassy? A flight to KL appears to be reasonably priced whereas getting from CM to either Udon Thani or Vientiane seems to be only available via Bangkok these days.

ubonjoe Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I am not aware of any visa run services from Chiang Mai. Most reports are from people that have taken a bus via Udon. In KL you will only get a single entry tourist visa. Edit: You can find more info here about visa runs to Vientiane. Check the last few pages of this 49 page topic. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Vientiane-La...sa-t158561.html Edited September 2, 2009 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You don't get visas at Mai Sai you get a visa exempt entry. That is why I refer to those trips as border runs. A visa run service to Nong Kai might be a good business to get into at the moment. You can fly from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang and then to Vientiane on Lao Airways. http://www.laoairlines.com/ Probably an expensive way to go though.

Lite Beer Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yes. It looks like the bus. Nok Air used to fly to Udon but stopped a year or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
