  1. Why dont you use google ?

    Well I think poster ryanhull stated it as well as I can.

    If someone wants to post the cottect address for the Laos Embassy in Bangkok, they will have to type "Laos Embassy Bangkok" into Google .

    The Laos Embasy website will be a lot more reliable than asking random people on TV

  2. I did the Chiang Kong border run a few days ago and immediately came back into Thailand without any issues .

    I have a UK passport and came back on a Visa Exempt Stamp and it was my third consecutive one from that crossing and nothing was said .

    The two previous times that I left from there, I got a minor integration and was told that I couldnt come straight back into Thailand again, so I waiting for ten minutes in Laos and then came back

  3. My friend was blacklisted for life a couple of years ago.

    Last November he came back after changing his name and with a new passport in his new name. At immigration he was arrested immediately and had to buy a new ticket to fly back to the UK within hours. He had a flight booked to Cambodia a couple of weeks later but they would not let him use that.

    I thought of changing my name and returning to Thailand but it seems like that is not a good option .

    They have photo recognition technology these days , you would have to change your face as well as your name

  4. Ah, ok. That's good. Thank you. So immigration will give me a final 7 days just for asking, or I can turn around same day in Chiang Kong and get a new 30 day visa exemption (US passport) without any hassles. Is that right?

    You will have to pay 1900 baht after applying for the extension and then you will be given 7 days to leave the country.

    You can get a 30 day visa exempt entry at Chiang Khong with out a problem. The Lao visa on arrival will cost 1500 baht or $35.

    Although they now calculate what $35 is in Baht and charge you that amount, rather than a straigh 1500 Baht

    Since when and at which crossing?

    Six weeks ago at the Chiang Kong border, I was unable to get hold of any US $ so I paid 1500 B for the Laos Visa, and he gave me an official receipt back with the calculation and 250 odd Baht back
