Hi mate love your site, Right don't worry too much about it now the damaage is already done, if need be say you didn't know the Laoatians are pretty cool and laid back. If need be pay a little tea money but as long as you are riding in on bikes that are from abroad they don't really care too much.
Word of caution, don't ever repeat what you have just did in any of the other countries because Thailand WILL impound your bike, Cambodia WILL fine the hell out of you and Malayasia WILL not let you out again.
So just stay chilled at the next border and remember to smile a lot and get the customs guys to pose for some pictures with your ride, make a big fuss of them, maybe have some  s in your pannies, basically anything to defuse tensions.
