Slightly off topic solly. I'm spending a few days in Laos in a couple of weeks. Most say that us dollars is good to have. Where's the best place in pats to change from Aus dollar to us dollar?
you don't have to actually go far really, it is all paperwork
go to the border, get your exit stamp
go to the Laos/Cambodian/Burmese etc immi office, pay them what they need
Get an entry stamp, go to the opposite office, get an exit stamp
go back into Thailand, get another 90 days
time about 1 hour
I have reported your post
^ Blimey is it that easy at Nong Khai ?

Back tey want $8 tuktuk 2 people but you can get them down to $6 but you pay the bridge 2x 1400 reil for tuk tuk I think it's 3x1400 for a car.
Coming back there is no fee Thailand side for farang or Thais and the mini bus will be sitting right side of the road waiting to Uturn back to Trad 120 baht.
I did Osmach 4/1/13 they wanted 1000baht and they showed me about 10 farang visa applications that had been through for the week and said that's the price that's all the money we get they don't take e-visas.Originally Posted by alwarner
Cost me 2000 baht to get to Siem reap as they only had 2 taxis working but the roads are brilliant. I think if I had USD at the time I could have got the trip for 45-50 as I'm convinced that Cambodians think 2000 baht is $50 when it's really about 63.
My advice to anyone who goes to Cambodia never speak in Thai Baht you will lose another %20-30 on top of the price quoted in USD.
Well my BIL is a police chief in the area so mabe he will help me Rick
No joking aside I,m sure he will , he's not abad lad and he owes me some favours

Always good to know someone in the local police. His going with you the first time would make the trip to Laos a breeze.
