a note though , I think they calculate the date the second entry is to be used by as 90 days from when they put the sticker in - and as you get the passport the next day , and return to Thailand , you will actually only have 89 days - I just noticed the other day from mine

came back the day I got my passport and got 60 days , then went to swan poo and got the 30 days extension which gave me until the day after my second entry expired. I actually went the day before to the border as I did not want to find out that the date that it is listed to expire it cannot be used - who knows with Thai bureaucracy.

^They say they are still giving free visas out but are they still issuing doubles or only singles, there is another thread on here somewhere saying only single entries are being issued now.

dirtydog · 13-07-2009, 02:16 PM

Single entry tourist visas will be free, doubles they charge for I think

The Vayakorn is fine, didn't stay there as my Dutch mate had booked in somewhere else and booked a room for me but it was the worst DUMP I have stayed in since I slept in the peoples palace (Salvo home for drunks) in Sydney circa 1971.
But Checked the Vayakorn out, looks good and will book it for my next trip in months time.

I still reckon the Mali Namphu is one of the best in Vientiane.

I was charged for a double entry tourist visa when back in Brisbane in June. Lady informed me that they were only issuing single entry tourist visa for free. Cost me $90. I had taken a two hour drive there the previous day only to find a small note on the front door saying they were closed, so on the return trip the second day I wasn't in a mood to argue. Felt like I was still in LOL. But still O.K value for six months (plus extensions) I reckon.

Did you manage to get any info from him yet? If not I would try hooking a power supply up to his balls as he seems to be a stubborn bugger.

melvbot · 08-08-2009, 03:41 PM

Sorry forgot about this, it happened in the middle of when I was moving back to the UK. As far as I remember he said he got a double entry for free, bearing in mind hes Scottish and we were both a bit pissed at the time it might not be the most reliable source of info at the mo.
