Guesthouse / Hotel in Laos DD?

Papadave · 04-03-2008, 06:09 PM

Thanks for info. Have to go there in a few weeks for my Non-Imm B visa. People say Vientiane is like old-style BKK (Frenchified) and there are plenty of hotels in town (backpacker to comfy class). Can't say I'm looking forward to the Thai bureaucracy but hope my g/f has as much clout there as she does locally.

DD - another question or two as I do this shit later today and the last time I did this was 2 or 3 years ago :

Go and hit the currency exchange and get 35 US dollars in nice clean untorn notes if you are a lovely UK person, now this is needed as you do need a visa to enter Lao, your Lao visa is valid for one month

1. Dollars - do I get that on the Thai side of the border BEFORE I go over? Is it near the immigration counter?

right you got your visa time to get out of Thailand,

2. Where did I get the visa before I left Thailand?

for your visa you also need a couple of passport pictures and a photocopy of your main passport page.

3. You are talking about the Thai visa not the Laos visa?

4. 250 Baht for a tuk tuk to the capital? Fuck what happened to the minivans they had 2 or 3 years ago for 100 Baht?

Some hotels and guesthouses in Lao here http://teakdoor.com/view.php?pg=laos-visa-run

Rambo · 19-03-2008, 05:41 PM

that Green park hotel is ok for what it costs. A few bugs but what can you expect.

micksterbs · 27-03-2008, 05:50 PM

DD, I've probably got hold of the wrong end of the stick here but you do all that for a visa run? When you say "visa-run", do you mean the usual "every-90-days" rigmarole? I ask because when I go to NK, it's a lot quicker and simpler than that. I get a Lao visa from the Lao Consulate in KK, drive to the bridge, park at the moron's car park (yep, I agree!), then walk over to the bridge and go through the admin there. Hop on the bus over to Laos, go through immigration there and then come straight back. Well, after stocking-up on Beer Lao Dark, that is.

I have a Non-Immigrant type "O" and just do the usual 90-day run, the last one just before it runs out as I'm sure everybody else does. Are you talking about actually applying for a new Thai visa at the end of the 15 months?

What's the whoring like in Vientiane? Where are the women at and whats this quote all about,

Wikitravel:

Quote:

A "secret" Lao law says that foreigners cannot have sexual relations with Lao women other than their spouses. The penalty, if caught, is US$500 for first time, though as the text of the law is not available, may be much more (the US embassy says $5000); the foreigner may be jailed or deported and the Lao woman may find herself in jail - and that is really the last place anyone would want to be here. If you take a girl to your room and she robs you this law makes it almost impossible to obtain assistance from the police. Bar tenders are happy to provide stories of angry tourists confronting girls in the same bars they picked them up the night before! Anyway, many hotels do not allow foreigners to take girls to their rooms, as it is officially prohibited. Those that do allow it must have some financial arrangement with the local police - this is Laos where the only thing more powerful than the Law is money.

So which hotels allow whoring?

Ta. You know, for a mate like

Mr Pot · 09-01-2009, 05:17 PM

^ Any takers

Mr Pot · 09-01-2009, 05:38 PM
