I will be travelling from Thailand to Laos in November and would like to cross overland via Chiang Khong-Huay Xai, so that I can do the 2 day slow boat trip to Luang Prabang. I was just wondering if they issue visa's on arrival and how much it costs?

I've been on a few websites and they all seem to have different answers - some say you need to get it in advance for $50 in Chiang Khong and some say visa on arrival. also some say 15 day and some say 30, so I'm a bit confused!!

Visa on arrival is available and valid for 30 days. Cost varies depending on nationality, but is generally around the US$30 mark.

and a cushion or two...

Beer Lao is always a worthy companion for the journey too!

Enjoy!
