I have to go tomorrow to Savanakhet, sort out a visa on Monday, is it same day turn around there? I've not been before so I was hoping someone else would know.
Also, can you get a triple entry tourist visa, or just a double?
Thanks,
Al

Use kip, they charge double everywhere for baht.
It's an overnight service, but not as crowded or annoying as vientienne.

I think it's they are cracking down on people using a child for the visa, if you have custody and are in fact supporting the child, all is OK.
In saying that I was going to get a child support visa this year, as recommended by the Immigration Chief at the time.
400,000 in the bank one day, new Chief, no, spouse extension of stay only. So I will be off to Lao next month for a multi O, which I hate as it eats up my passport pages. Jim

Use Dollars for the Lao crossing, sound UK so I think $30 or 1500 baht, last time I crossed. Use Baht at the Thai Embassy for the visa and use Kip in Lao. Though I have heard that you can get a discount on other things if you use US Dollars.
Either way you are talking less than 1,000 Baht for an overnighter.
Look at poor me, I'm going, wife, 2 kids to see the dinosaur museum. Jim

Again, thank you Jim.
I'll only have baht when I get to Mukdahan so I'll have to try and change up some for dollars / kip there. I don't fancy using my cash card just in case.
I read somewhere (i think a khon kaen forum) you can get an OK room on the river for 400b or so. So the 1000b sounds spot on. I wont be going mad.
