I am currently in Savannaket, flew here on Lao Airlines from Vientiane, arrived at the airport in Savannaket, it was crazy and funny at the same time, there were no taxi's or Tuk Tuks, 20 people on the plane and no one could leave the airport. A van from a casio showed up but no one wanted to go to the casino, any ways I finally made to my guesthouse with bribery.

Sorry to ramble but the other problem is I cannot locate the Thai Consulate, I know it is closed today. Very hard to find a Tuk Tuk here and I don't think Taxis are around. I know the consulate has moved several times, does anyone have a map to the current location. I ask the locals and no one knows what I am talking about at the same time the people here are very friendly, I think I am the only farang in town.

Thanks

I don't remember seeing a flag on it or not. Its near the river, in an "old" colonial looking house. I stayed at the Saavan Casino & Hotel and they had no problems finding it. The address is on the Consulate's webpage I believe.

But, here is the phone number: Tel. (856-41) 212-373, 252-080.

I found out the entrence is not at the front gate, it is on the side, there was more people than just myself waiting at the front gate for hrs. All they wanted was the application, the money passport photos and copys of the passport. I paid 40 baht for 2 applications accross the street, but i didn't need to, You can walk right up and they will hand them to You at the consulate without waiting in line. Am going back at 2:00 today to get my passport. I brought way more documentation, they wanted none of it.

Hi,

I'm glad that you'd obviously found it. It's always better to have more than less documents. Applying for a Non-B visa to work at a school and some guys working at the consulate are even asking for a document from the educational office from the province you're working.

There's also a duty free shop and plenty of Sao Saos.....enjoy your trip, life can be shorter than expected..........ohmy.gif
