Just a quick one today to say, Saibaidee (dunno how its spelt!) from Laos. Spending just under a week here then back to Thailand for the islands darn sarf. Lol. I've had 3 longgggg days of travelling, all day Saturday on a minibus to the border, over nighter there, then cross the river to Laos and 'slowboat' it all the way to Luang Prabang! That took 2 days, over nighting in a mental little village in the middle of nowhere that only has electicity for a few hours each morning and night! So aye, I'm in Luang Prabang now. And it's lurrrrrvly! Proper lickle holidaye type place, still tres tres hot. I really really can't get use to all this money either. I only just got use to the Thai bhat! Listen to this, 100 thai bht is about 1pound50 (sorry there are no pound signs on this keyboard!), and the Laos Kip is 250 to 1 thai bhat! If ya get me. So currently I have thouands of notes, we all said we don't know why they just knock all the 0's off! Har har. 12 of us arrive at guest house... wicked pic!But my main reason for this post is to let you all know that I am no longer a 'lonerrrrr', I'm sharing a super super kingsize bed in a guest house with 2 other girls, one from Israel (shes hilarious) and Ellen from England. There are 12 of us in total. We all met on the boat, so kinda stayed together. The bars here are lovely. All lit up with green and red lights, candles on the tables and lots of green plants everywhere- proper exotic. Sooooooo, I feel like shite today. Really bad. Had a few too many cocktails and mahoooosive beers last night,last night before have some sleep I did write a poem about the moon.A poetry at dawn we all were somethings.

Do I need to do a border run from Thailand to Laos on my Visa?
Okay so here's my problem. I obtained a 60 day Visa in the UK before coming to Thailand. I only just noticed yesterday that when coming through Thai immigration at Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok), that they've stamped my Passport as 'admitted until February 14' which would make it 30 days from arrival in Thailand. This is clearly a mistake made by Thai immigration and there are no immigration offices open where I'm staying until tomorrow morning. Do I need to leave Thailand and make a border run or will I be able to just stay in the country and obtain another Visa tomorrow? Please if anyone could help I'd be really grateful, I really need to know because I'll have to get a bus to Laos tonight if I cannot stay.

I would wait until tomorrow and go to Thai immigrations, explain to them what happen and see what they said. If they will not help, don't get upset in front of them. Nothing will help. Ask for a 7 day extension so you can go to Laos and get another tourist visa. This extension will cost 1,900 baht. Even if you were on overstay for a few days it will cost you 500 baht a day.
