There is a visa office there. I almost made this mistake too. No one at the border seems to know about the visa office either... I went to renew my visa and I was going to go on the boat, got my passport stamped and stuff, had loads of arguments when they said I could only get 15 days, then they had to stamp a massive 'cancelled' stamp over the stamp which said id left Thailand (and now it gets questioned everywhere I go cos it looks like I got deported and my visa cancelled!!). I finally got the bus driver to take me to the office and it was sorted.<br /><br />Please check though, because im pretty sure you dont need to go all the way to Laos to get it if its only a renewal. You shouldnt need to leave the country for that, thats only for New visas! <br /><br />From koh Tao they did special visa run trips though, which are all in and get you there and back in a day.torinoreply@blogger.com
