Been googling for the Viantiene to Nongkhai(rail) to Khon Kaen bus to rail route. All the information seems to be the reverse trip. We are traveling from Vientiane to Khon Kaen, any ideas about schedule and prices? I know that Nongkhai is about 20km from VT and the shuttles are in sync with departures for Bangkok, but no information about morning departures. If prefer rail to Khon Kaen than a 5 hour bus ride and other hassles with the bus at the border. But I don't want to get to Khon Kaen late either. Would prefer to arrive early in the afternoon, bring lunch with me on the train.
I'm guessing the visa on arrival on the Thailand side is also the same as if we were to take the bus, correct?
