Savannaket consulate holiday dates

Can anyone tell me if Savannaket consulate is open 27 and 28 this month? Found the website but couldn't find any holiday dates. Have checked Ventiane and it is open, which leads me to believe Savannaket will also be open but I've been here long enough to know that this isn't necessarily the case.

Yes, I have to leave the country every 90 days but I live fairly close to Nong Khai so the whole thing can be done in about an hour and a half.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

I have the Galaxy Grand Duos and apart from the small problem of getting it out of your pocket quickly it's absolutely brilliant in every other aspect. I was a dyed in the wool push button man but my wife persuaded me to try her S4 mini for a few days and I was soon hooked. The mini had too small a ...

Re: Is fully comp insurance usually provided with new vehicl

Fully comprehensive insurance was included in the deal when I bought my Toyota Vios three years ago. Honda had just brought out a new City model and they weren't giving insurance so we went for the Vios.
