Land Borders closed to overstayers

[ALFREDO]

As you can read, finally I am not the only one to think that they are more civilied at Nong Khai <3

To each his own. I prefer the more quiet border.

so u went out at Nong Khai and got the visa from Savannakhet?

Where will you go back in?

I will go next week.. 18 months over.. before that 2 TR visas, then 8 months os before that..

Do u think any probs at Nong Khai? Last time i was over the bloke there was a right savage..

Correct. It's a bugger of a bus ride, though. 8:30am to 6pm. Not recommended.

Went straight from the consulate to the bridge and was through Mukdahan no problems. Now back at home.

The overstay officer at Nong Khai was a real gent. Tutted over my overstay, I apologized, he stamped me out. But to be fair there is probably more than one. Maybe you saw a different guy.

When I took the bus from Mukdahan to Udon Thani, unknown to me the bus driver phoned ahead and had a tuk waiting to buzz me across town to get the last bus to Nong Khai. That's the Thailand I love.

Can you not fly? Bangkok apparently all smiles to overstayers. I would if I was doing it again.

Good luck.
