ChristianPFC Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Is the Bo Y border crossing open to international (German) tourists and are VOA issued, at what cost/documentation? In particular I plan to leave Lao over land to Thailand, that means I have no proof of leaving. How to I get from Nha Trang to Bo Y, and how to continue to next town in Lao by public transport?

Saigon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Hi, I just found this post now. This must be too late for you but I do hope that it helps tourists who are thinking of travelling this route in the future. The info I'm going to give you now is a bit old, so please double-check it. As for Bo-Y border, it's open to the international tourists, too, but I'm not sure about the visa stuff because I don't need one to enter VN or Laos. As for how to get to the border from Nha Trang, there were buses to Pleiku (or 'Gia Lai' as locals call) and onto Kon Tum, where you could change all the way to Pakse in Laos. (I'm pretty sure you'd have to spend a night in either of those 2 VN towns.) I read some post, reporting that there are lots of buses going to the border for a visa run now so there might be direct buses from Nha Trang. I'm not sure. It's a long way (more than 400km) and could take 10hrs each way, though. The last town in VN before the border is 'Ngọc Hồi' and the first town in Laos after that is 'Attapeu.' I have taken a local bus to the border from Kon Tum and another one from Attapeu to Ngọc Hồi once before. Hope that helps.
