@Alastair ******

I do have an open mind. After living here for 12yrs the novelty is gone. Perception changes. There are just betrer options for a visa run. Maybe if I was still new to SE asia I would have a more positive opinion.

@Shannon *******

Laos is boring AF. Vientianne is shit and nothjing to do or see. I have been there for visa runs and hated the place. I would also not go there if the visa was 60 bucks. It is shit and not worth it. I would think thats what the OP meant

@Brandon ***********

definitately agree w this. Sone nationalities are easier than others. Thailand is not the easiest overall. I think Cambodia and Philipines are the 2 easiest visa wise. Vietnam if you are american was also a good choice a few years ago but things may have changed since. I am not updated on Malaysia and Indonesia.
