Hi,
I need to do a VISA run and thought of taking the sleeper train from BKK to the border near Udon Thani and fly back from Vientiane after riding a few days in both Udon (my wife is from that region) and in Laos.
Q1: at the border, they need a passport and one or two photographs plus a VISA fee?
Does the train cross the border, or would all passengers get off and obtain VISAs?
I'll rent a bike in Vientiane and not bother with temporary import papers and all that .
The sleeper trains are fun: http://www.seat61.com/Thailand.htm#On%20board
Ride on!
