Mea Sot was so easy to get your stamp for 500 baht or $10, took me 30 mins in all. But the best part of my trip was at the: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g317132-d2590173-Reviews-The_Passport_Restaurant_Mae_Sot-Mae_Sot_Tak_Province.html

The food here was amazing!  and the hotel was nice also. So if you come to Mea Sot, this is a must place to eat! Now when you come back to the Thai side after you get your stamp, there is a market area on the river area and in the market you will fine a Old antiques  shop. This is something you will want to see. trust me!

 

 Mukdahan was a nice trip by VIP bus, but the next bus to go over to Savannakhet was a bit of a fight to just get on the bus. You need to place yourself to the front of the bus door before it opens up, if you see any farang going to the Thai consulate like you. Talk to them about all of you paying for a ride, it will save a little money. You will have to stay over night, so for me I stay at the casino hotel.

Now before you go to Mukdahan, call Don at; Mukdahan Manor B&B, 081 047 4781.....Don has been there for over 30 yrs or so, he is someone who knows every one on both sides of the river.

Now most Farangs will tell you that Savannakhet has no nightlife and it's a dead little town....not so! You need to call Don and ask him were to go and stay, and he can tell you more about the Thai consulate.

Now after you get back to the Thai side, you will in up back at the bus station and wait about 3 hrs for the next bus...Just call Don and he will have a taxi pick you up and take you to his place for drinks and some good food....Don and his Wife are great people.

 

Now you will fine many post on step-by-step on both places on this site, I am just adding some info to just make you trip a little nicer.

      Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches

      Trump let 3 million illegals into this country. It would have been more, but COVID stopped them. As for inflation, tell me about the impact of Trump's tariffs on the current 2.2% inflation. The economy is at an all-time high. As a foreigner, you probably aren't benefitting from the US economy booming. I made a fortune on the stock market this year, so your gaslighting doesn't impress me.

      Six Thai Police Officers Arrested in 300 Million Baht Fake Warrant Scam

      Cyber cops caught in 300 million baht web of greed by Petch Petpailin Photo via Thai Rath Nine Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) officers and three additional suspects allegedly attempted to extort 300 million baht from a Vanuatu-Chinese couple. Ten suspects were arrested while two others remain at large. The Vanuatu man named Sai and his Chinese wife reported to officers at Bang Sue Police Station that a group of men claiming to be police officers swindled 5.7 million baht from him. The couple stated that the group included police officers, a Thai interpreter named Apartsara Sonklin and her Chinese husband named Yun Daliang. According to Sai, the group raided his home in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province, presenting a document with the royal warrant and garuda emblem of Thailand, which convinced the couple to allow a search. Each police officer communicated with Sai and his wife through Apartsara, who acted as their interpreter. Apartsara read out a legal document to the couple, claiming that a Filipino suspect, who was arrested for making counterfeit passports, confessed that Sai was involved in the crime. Sai firmly insisted on his innocence, stating that he had no involvement in producing fake passports and did not know any Filipino suspects in the case. The situation escalated as the group seized the mobile phones of the couple, their housemaid, and Sai’s Chinese friend. They also inspected Sai’s computer, claiming they needed to search for evidence. 300 million baht demanded The group then offered the couple an ultimatum: pay 300 million baht, or 10 million USDT, to have all legal cases dropped. Sai refused, believing in his innocence. Consequently, the police took Sai, his wife, his Chinese friend, and the maid into their car. During the journey, the officers lowered their demand to 10 million baht, but Sai still refused. The group eventually brought them to the Cyber Crime office, where only Sai and his wife were taken to a separate room. Under pressure, Sai transferred a total of 5 million baht in both baht and USDT to the group. The cryptocurrency transfer went to Apartsara’s account but Sai did not disclose the destination of the baht transfer. After receiving the money, the corrupt officers took photographs of the couple, their maid, and Sai’s friend, then returned their mobile phones and allowed them to leave. However, Sai’s computer remained with the group. On October 17, around 1pm, Apartsara contacted Sai, claiming she knew who was behind his recent arrest but would only reveal the information if he transferred 700,000 baht. Sai agreed and made the transfer to Apartsara’s cryptocurrency account. However, after receiving the funds, Apartsara blocked Sai and provided no information. Suspects deny An investigation by Bang Sue Police Station officers confirmed nine genuine police officers and three others involved in the case, including six police officers and one Thai civilian: Police Lieutenant Colonel Chanachai Jaikla Police Captain Amnuay Kongklin Police Captain Thanakrit Kanchanamart Police Senior Sergeant Major Chayaphon Wongpan Police Senior Sergeant Major Pongthep Sangkala Police Senior Sergeant Major Manassawee Janyaluck Police Senior Sergeant Major Siam Thongmon Police Senior Sergeant Major Suphan Kongsai Police Sergeant Major Kittiphum Jeenplaengchart Warut Wanthongsook Apartsara Sonklin Apatsara’s Chinese husband, Yun Daliang Three of them surrendered at Tung Song Hong Police Station following the summon request including Thanakrit, Suphan, and Kittiphum. Police officers arrested more suspects on October 28, but Apatsara and her Chinese husband remain at large. The suspects were charged under Section 149 of the Criminal Code: requesting, receiving, or agreeing to receive property or benefits and committing illegal acts while holding an official position. The penalty ranges from five to 20 years of imprisonment, life imprisonment, or a fine of 100,000 to 400,000 baht. All suspects denied the allegations and requested bail, providing cash and property as collateral. They were granted bail and must submit documents to clarify their actions within seven years.

      Lost por ror bor sticker

      Hi I recently transferred a motorbike into my name and got the por ror bor sticker. Unfortunately I already lost it. I attached it to my license plate in a round plastic holder which seems to have disappeared. It might have gotten stuck somewhere behind another motorbike when trying to get out of a tight parking spot. It's hard to find info online but from what I've found so far ... is it true I need to go to the police station to report it and then go to the transport office to get a new one? Or is there an easier way?

      Feedback on Theme and subscription offer

      "I know that this is probably a forlorn request, But is it possible to stop continuously updating the forum. It seems as though every week there are changes." There are not "continuous updates". There have been technical issues for a considerable time and they must be addressed. Explanation of what has happened etc is explained in the public notice. The forum had been technically neglected for a considerable time, the new owners have invested a lot to rectify those issues and move forward with a new and improved experience for the members.

      He has agreed. WOW! Soo, nice of him. Somehow, I don´t think that was his choice to make.
