Thai border
here is some up to date info for you.
1/ It does not matter what border you cross in , at the moment all border crossings are open . I entered at the chiankong at the Golden Triagle.
2/ dont worry abut the white paper , you will get a new one when crossing back to Thailand either at vientiane or savannak.
3/ as you know Thailand have change its land border crossing regulations.
YOU WILL ONLY GET 15 DAYS VISA!! if your staying more than 15days in thainland get a free 2 months visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane it takes two days and its free until April 2010! Also the visa starts from the day you enter -valid for 3 months.
4/ Whatever you do make sure when ,re-entering Thailand, that you check the white paper ... I got my 60 day visa in vientiane but when entering Thailand they automatically gave me just 15 Days for the Bike... Fortunately I noticed this and asked for 60 days .. They were kind enough and gave my bike a 5 Months pass , the officer said " just in case you want to stay longer "
Dont worry the thai official (after the Laos )are very nice and easy to deal with.
Good Luck
