    • Having just come through the border from Lak Xao into Vietnam, there was a sign saying that as it was the weekend, there was a charge of 1 USD for stamping the passport to exit the country. Of course this was repeated by the Vietnamese to enter. So total extra cost because its a weekend is 2 USD. Not much I know but worth knowing!!

    At Least Do This: Smile and pay!!
    Alternative: Dont go on a weekend or try another border crossing where it may not happen.
