I'm getting conflicting information from a travel agent in BKK about whether a thai passport holder needs visas for Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

I've visited the websites and think one is required for Cambodia, but the others aren't too clear. I've sent emails but gotten no response.

Any thais out there know the answer to this question?

I'm not Thai but I work here with Thais.

Laos - definitely not.
Cambodia - definitely do.
Vietnam - I think no, but not sure.

lori---call their embassys in DC??

Thai's do not need a visa to visit Vietnam for up to 30 days.

good idea bob I will try that.

Let me save you some time.
