Retire In Thailand

Then just leave the car there while you enter Laos, then swing a leg over the rail and go back to Thailand.?
You can get a “Passport rot ” and a Thai smart card Inter national drivers licence at any Department of Land and Transport office.

Retire in Thailand

Can I just take a bus from Udonthani to the Laos border for the visa run, pay for the Laos visa, and not have to go to the Thai Embassy in Laos capital, but just come right back to Udonthani and do I still get the 30 days back for Thailand?
