A successful visit to Savannakhet to obtain a ME O visa based on marriage. Journey started with a flight from CM (7.15am CNX) to Khon Kaen (2,810 baht return- AirAsia) and then a minibus journey (240 baht) from Khon Kaen bus station to Mukdahan bus station . Caught the international Laos bus from Mukdahan to Savannakhet (45 baht each way). 1 x picture 1,500 baht I needed for the Laos visa. Arrived at the Avalon hotel (6 GBP per night - 2 nights through Agoda) in Savannakhet at 15.00. Probably would stay at the Aura next time, but cannot complain about the cost of the Avalon. Food was poor though. The next day the Thai consulate in Savannakhet opened at 09.00.
