Chung noi Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Howdy all, I'm doing research for my next trip to Thailand. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a USA citizen to land in Ho Chi Minh city, travel to the north crossing into Laos, then cross the border at Vientiane into Thailand? I have tried to search the prior posts and have not found any that dealt with this route of travel. If you have any advice or experiences please reply. Thank you Thai Visa for the great site.

Spaniel Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I dont know for sure but probably possible. I suggest you go to www.lonelyplanet.com, click on Thorn Tree, scroll down to the Vietnam forum and ask your question there. If you're not a Lonely Planet forum member it only take a few min to sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Li (T) / Nam Hueng (L) 3. Nong Khai (T) / Friendship Bridge, Vientiane (L) 4. Bung Kan (T) / Pakxan (L) 5. Mukdahan (T) / Savannakhet (L) 6. Nakhon Phanom (T) / Tha Khek (L) 7. Chong Mek (T) / Vang Tao, Pakse (L) So you're not restricted to The Friendship Bridge at Vientiane / Nong Khai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
