Don't think so, but the "group" concept in Laos is something to avoid. Try to enter individually or two at the time over a few hours span.
Other here on GT-R can explain
Hello. Thanks for response. Problem with that is 2/3 get across and the others dont for some silly reason. Then its a mess. I read that the Northern provinces of Laos are being very difficult . I would like to know if thats still the case .i can enter from anywhere in Thailand , its a case of go to easiest border in and out. But if we need a guide , does anyone know of someone in Laos ?
Best regards
Gary
