  1. THAI-LAOS BRIDGE THALI NOW OPEN FOR FOREIGNERS WITH VISA ON ARRIVAL.

    A third bridge linking Thailand and Lao PDR across the Huang River, one of the tributaries of the mighty Mekong, is due to start in early 2004. Thailand will bear the 70.75 million baht (about US$ 1.8 million) cost of the 3.3 kilometre bridge which will link the northeastern province of Loei, Thailand, with the province of Sainyabuli, Lao PDR.

    The bridge across the Huang River,near Thali, is in line with the Economic Co-operation Strategy (ECS) approved by regional governments to develop road links between Thailand and Lao PDR.

    Well-known for natural attractions, Loei province is home to the Phu Kradueng National and Forest Park and Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary. These parks are dotted with caves and waterfalls, and highlighted by beautiful scenery along the banks of the Mekong and Huang rivers.

  3. THIRD THAI-LAOS BRIDGE

    A third bridge linking Thailand and Lao PDR across the Huang River, one of the tributaries of the mighty Mekong, is due to start in early 2004. Thailand will bear the 70.75 million baht (about US$ 1.8 million) cost of the 3.3 kilometre bridge which will link the northeastern province of Loei, Thailand, with the province of Sainyabuli, Lao PDR.

    The bridge across the Huang River is in line with the Economic Co-operation Strategy (ECS) approved by regional governments to develop road links between Thailand and Lao PDR. The strategy was agreed during a meeting between Thailand, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Cambodia on 12 November, 2003, in Bagan, Myanmar.

    Although the bridge will not immediately have an international immigration checkpoint, that is a logical next step for governments to discuss after it is opened.

    There is yet another bridge across the Mekong River, the Lao-Nippon Bridge funded by the Japanese, in the Laotian province of Pakse. This opened in August 2000 but is located entirely in Laotian territory while the other three are cross-border bridges.

    My wife and me cross this border today with a visa on arrival..

    So, good news for expats and travelers

  4. Different groups have been trying to put cable cars here for years. The opposition has always been able to block them. I feel the cable cars would increase tourism a lot. I have not been to the top because it is a LONG walk up hill. If I remember correctly it is nine kilometers. There are already concrete steps and if the pylons were put along the same path nothing would be damaged. It is a beautiful area. Loei is quite laid back and they apparently wish to remain that way. In Loei city there are no malls even though Tesco Lotus has been trying to put in a store.

    Well I don't know about cable cars but it has long been a great day trip for us Udon motorcycle riders, like anywhere else to many tourist will change a very beautiful part of Thailand. Progress I suppose.

    It is indeed quite a trek to the top... but well worth the 5 hours it took. The concrete steps are few and far between and a lot of the climb seemed like it was straight up (although it really isn't :o ).

    I would be COMPLETELY opposed to the construction of the cable cars.

    It would be a real shame for a Starbucks to obstruct this view from our first evening on top of this absolutely fabulous place:
