shadowmaster1971 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm looking at getting a non-imm O, and was wondering if any TV members have any recommendation for Visa companies based in Pattaya heading up to Savannakhet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thats a loooooooooooong drive that may take years off your life chum............ There are visa companies in Pattaya that go to Vientiane, so it could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 As far as I know there are no visa run companies going to Savannakhet from anywhere. You will have to do it on your own. You can get the yellow bus from Pattaya to Mukdahan. http://www.iloveyellowbus.com/en/roots.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarana Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Savanakhet is off the main backpacker trail, with no direct express bus from Vientiane although the bus from Thaket may stop there. Its a handy town with a Thai Consulate and Immigration dept to serve the Friendship bridge. Check the guidebook for places to stay as there is nothing on the river except really expensive resort rooms by the hour. Nothing much to see as the historic town is a shell with only one good cafe. Otherwise no nightlight althoughthe bright lights of Thailand glitter across the river. Southern Laos is almost a dead loss except for the Bolaven plateau. Pakse is the worst place I have ever been with the rudest people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Pakse is the worst place I have ever been with the rudest people. Thanks for the "heads-up" on Pakse... I am assembling a "bucket list" of places to visit before reaching Nirvana... Pakse...will be high on my list...I like places where people show their true disdain for foreigners...all the while...eagerly taking one's money... Still have a few more places in Thailand...border towns are the best bet for true expressions at this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangforever Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) If looking to save money yellow bus does patttaya mukdahan overnight route. otherwise air aisa with van connection. Do you really need a visa co? Edited September 2, 2014 by farangforever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
