Kown the area very well travel to Mukdahan from my hometown of Chiang Rai too do visa runs.
On checking with Chiang Khong customs people at the border, any Thail plated machines can only leave Thailand for a Max of 30 days after that it's like a visa "Overstay" the said machine then has to pay a fine of 500 THB a day to a Maximum of 10.000 THB on its return to Thailand.
One more way the Thail Government gets money out of Farlangs.
Can't see any Thailand people wanting to leave Thailand longer than 30 days LOL.
As you are so close to 2 main border crossing with Laos, check it out.
