I go to Laos

Today I am in Laos to get a new Thai Visa for extended stay. It is a beautiful country. I had to stay over night so I am in a hotel on the Mekong River. I paid 200,000 Kip to stay tonight. That's about $25. I gave the driver 20,000 to drive me here. That is about 80 baht ($2.40). I will not get used to the exchange rate before I leave tomorrow. I will write an extended entry when I get back to Thailand.
