Laos/Thailand: New Limits to Vehicle Border Crossing
This just through on Lonely Planet's email newsletter,
"Laos/Thailand: New Limits to Vehicle Border Crossing
A three-day limit on private vehicles crossing the Thai-Laos border was announced recently by customs officials at the Friendship Bridge. The regulation requires cars to return to their native soil within 72 hours.
The move has caused some disruptions to overland tours: local tour operators and self-drive tour drivers are supposed to get their cars back before their planned visits are over." Not sure what effect this will have on travellers, but check carefully.
