I want to come back into Thailand on a tourist visa (I am aware this will be 15 days) using a British passport. Do I get my tourist visa at the Laos side of the bridge before crossing to come back into Thailand?
Do I have to pay for the tourist visa to return into Thailand?
My husband has a Thai passport, his ID card has currently ran out as he has been living in the UK with me for 2 years. Will they want to see that in addition to his passport? (If so we will need to arrange to get that re-validated before we go to Laos). |

No, you get it on entry to Thailand after you cross the bridge from Lao.

No

Hopefully someone will explain the difference (again) between tourist visa and whatever is the term for what you get at the border.
