There is no limit on 15 day entries but they will ask questions about what you are doing after several of them. If you are set on flying for your visa you might consider other locations. Flights to KL for example are overall cheaper (check Air Asia for fares) than to Vientiane normally and there is no need for a visa when going to Malaysia. Vientiane is a location of choice for those wanting to save money because they can travel overland cheaper than by air.

Excellent info on the multiple border crossings to Cambodia.  I'm expecting the registration to be complete within 45 days so this option is by far the best (I'm only 2 hours drive to the border).

I'll have to check fares but a Laotian friend of mine is coming into Bangkok next month, then flying to Vientiane (forget the name of the airline) for approx. ฿6,000 / person.  Thai Airways quoted him ฿15,000 / person.  For ฿6,000 I wouldn't complain about sitting in the back of the bus.  Posted Image

Thanks, Ubonjoe.  Next logical question . . . how many times can I get 15 day visas by making border runs to Cambodia?  I'm assuming once, but it's worth asking.  If that's the case then . . . Posted Image I would drive to Cambodia to get an extra 15 days, then fly to Vientiane to apply for a 60 day tourist visa (making sure it won't be during a Thai holiday  Posted Image ).  Does anyone see any hangups with Plan A?

Let's see if they announce how long these guys are off line.  I'm curious.

If anyone has a reasonable estimate, that would be interesting to know.

There will be a lot of pressure to assure supply - maximum production capacity elsewhere and to get operational again.
A friend of mine works for the industry in Ayutthaya.  He told me this morning it would take 6 months to restart his factory.  That is not a good prognostication.
How extensive is the equipment damage?
I would have liked to chat with him some more but he had urgent things to take care of.  Hopefully I'll have another opportunity to chat tomorrow.

In Topic: Evacuation, Flood Warning For Part Of Bangkok Outskirts

I happened across this site, Thai Flood Map, which gives current flood data.  Maybe others can navigate the site better than I but since I live just east of Chachoengsao province I clicked on that province on the home page map of Thailand.  It shows the current state of flooding in that area but the map can be zoomed in/out and panned to see any area you wish.  Here's the direct link to that page.
