Ok, so I am very happy of what I learned here. Not only did I RTFF, I am going to print it and use it as bible. Well. More like a tool. I really do appreciate the help and info from everyone. I am a very good negotiator and pretty savoy to pick up on trends and know things different in other countries. I am not scared or anything to be alone, I just have a hard time to get my buddies to jump on board with my trips all over. I have been to PI and Tijuanna for Monger only trips. I have a few more places I want to see and compare to see which is the best. If anyone else has any comparisons to other trips I would not mind a few comments on here.

IS anyone else going to be at LL NOV 10 to 17 or just in the area? I wouldn't mind an expert guide to pick their brain and have a few brews.

I will be in BKK from Nov 10th till the 17th. I hear good things about your hotel and I have been to your website. Should I email, call or just say I am an ISG member when i arrive? I think its great that you offer a discount for us. Im sure the answer to my questions are somewhere on the site, but I am not real good at searching the threads. Please let me know what to do and I look forward to meeting you.

Touche.... I shall agree and concede the point to you as you view this and add I do all my shopping in BKK.

HOWEVER with respect I think it should be noted.... I view this as the OP being his first trip to Thailand, appears to be going alone and is not meeting up with anyone that knows the places. And given the fact that you must get away from MBK areas and most talked about places (the places that are talked about most on the web not just ISG), and you need to have good negotiating skills and you should have a decent understanding of thai culture and language to negotiate properly... I contend that my post is still accurate for the OP.

For newbies who do not know BKK area or are not willing to venture out and about, Phuket, Pattaya, and other areas are cheaper for many things then what these people will find in BKK.

Many newbies are nervous, unsure of themselves, and do things / stay at hotels / eat at restaurants / go to clubs / go to places / etc... that are most talked about on the web until they get a few trips under their belt. Which is fully understandable.

Then they venture out and find out what LOS is really all about.

If we were not weird, to a certain extent (extend must be that European spelling I guess

) then we would have stopped at less then 100 posts, any over 100 posts is a fucking lunatic.

Anyone over 500 is certifiable, anyone over 1000 should be incarcerated for life, and I won't go mention anyone higher then that level

Depending on your nationality, you can get a 15-day visa exemption when entering Thailand at the immigration checkpoints which border neighboring countries (and a 30-day visa exemption when entering the Kingdom via an international airport).

How much is this extra visa if I need 1?

All I know is that thais just have to pay a 40B passport stamp charge

I think the town on the thai side is called mudahan or something like that, is there any mongering activities during the day when the gf is at work & I'm in this town to kill time because GF says there's nothing to do in the Laos part where she lives.

As of March 2009 i.e. this year, this was my experience.
I don't know if the law has changed, but doubt it, so you'd better check, because it might affect your plans.

You get the 30 day tourist visa, if you enter Thailand via an international Airport, e.g BKK, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc.
It is for a single entry only and free (if I remember correctly).

BUT at local border crossings, such as Vientiane / Nong Kai, you get only a 7 day visa (confirm this!).
So for a "visa run" you would need to fly from Laos to e.g. BKK.
Flights Luang Prabang / BKK are quite expensive.
Check Expedia and then confirm & book with the individual Airlines.

I am sure some members with recent experience can comment.
