Basically for US/EU its paying (take cash US$) and waiting for a large stamp/sticker in your passpt. Also do not expect they will be on the know for YOUR entry-regulations re visa and all that-they dont have to deal with it. There are officially quite strong laws against Laotians going with farang-this mainly applies to ladies though and as mostly in ASEAN should not taken as too seriously. Many have complicated cross-border schemes (I am a bit interested in that and always ask about ways of how to when i can) and they may forfeit a new entry into TH for it.įor me Lao's in their own country are mostly lazy, or ''laidback'' if you follow tourist brochure-language. (f.e they say ''pai sai'' in lieu of pai nai?, 20=not yisip/yeep, but ''sao'').ĭo not assume to quick they (I mean real Laotains) will want to go back home-and more so with a farang in tow. (short time) experts can recognise their dialect. In most BKK (and likely PTY) bars/gayplaces there will be nearly/over half of the guys coming from Isan-or often smilingly named'' Lao''. There is no foolproof way to distinguish Lao from Thai-and certainly not from Isan-guys.
