I am living in udon and have metv.I will need to go to laos and then come back into thailand but am unsure of where to cross the border and if I need a visa for laos and an address to stay in laos as I will cross the border and come straight back the same day.

 

You can do the crossing at the bridge in Nong Khai.

You need to get a Lao visa on arrival. They have a space on the application form for an address in Laos. You could put the name for any hotel in Vientiane to put there.

You can cross and come right back.

Ubonjoe do I have to pay in us dollars and if so can you get them in banks in udon ?

You can pay 1500 baht or 30 to 42 US dollars dependent upon your nationality. See: http://www.laos-guide-999.com/visa-on-arrival.html

I have read that you can get USD in Udon.

It's cheaper to pay for the Lao Visa On Arrival in U.S. $$$, depending on your nationality, for Americans it's $35.

 

You should be able to exchange baht to $$ at most any bank in Udorn.  Be sure to get nice clean crisp bills with no writing on them, otherwise often not acceptable to Lao Immigration.

 

I usually put down the Mali Namphou GH in Vientiane, have stayed there in the past.
