6 month double entry visa

[lovinglifeinthailand]

Hi all.

I am currently here on a double entry tourist visa, the first 3 months are almost up, so tomorrow i am going to the border at nong khai/ Vientiane

to activate the second entry.

What i want to know is, do I have to go over the bridge and enter Laos , or do i get the exit stamp on the Thai side and cross the road and

re- enter and pay the fee all without crossing the bridge?

many thanks.

You have to cross the bridge and enter/depart Laos.

They check that you have the Lao stamps before stamping you back into Thailand.

That's a shame, do you know if it is still ok to go across then come straight back?

thank for the reply.

You can cross the bridge enter Laos and turn around and come right back.
