Haha yes I have lots of space in my passport so I'm not worried about that.

Of what I can gather from this chat I don't need to get a visa for Thailand or Vietnam and I can get a visa for Cambodia and Laos at the border. I am going with STA travel in a group with a tour guide so I presume we will all we in the same boat and the tour guide will make sure we don't get scammed at the borders

We do not know yet if a visa will be required for Vietnam. Under current circumstances, visa exempt entry is available for UK passport holders. However, the current scheme is due to expire July 1st. We will probably not know until about June 20th whether visa exempt entry will be extended, though I consider it more likely than not.

If you can't get a visa-exempt entry into VN anymore after 1 July 2016, maybe you should

apply for a VN visa on-line, considering that you're going to spend only a few nights in BKK.

FYI, you'll need to show the IO an onward ticket if you fly into VN for a visa-exempt entry.

That is a good point. Someone told me they waive that requirement for those in tour groups traveling overland. Can someone confirm that?

Is that an international tour or a Thai tour?

I went on a Thai tour into Laos and when we arrived at the border the guide had no idea what to do with me. I was the only foreigner on the bus and she took me to the wrong queue, I knew it was wrong but couldn't say anything as she couldn't speak English. My wife had disappeared with the rest of the Thais and there was no signal on my phone. They were all sat on the bus for about an hour and half waiting for me to get sorted.

Hope things go a bit smoother for you.

I can get a visa-exempt entry for 15 days and have entered VN overland on my own so many

times without even having to show the IOs an onward ticket once.
