Is The Vientiame Office Open On Saturday Or Sunday?

[mandmsworld]

My Fiance and I plan on flying into Udon thani and heading to Vientiane on Friday the 7th of September. Are the visa offices open on the weekend? and what is the best way to get to Vientiane from Udon Thani? Thank you in advance for your help.

It's really cheap to fly into to Udon thani and i think we can take a bus to the friendship bridge then a tuk tuk or songtaew once across. Just wanted some verification on that.

Mandmsworld, another member had recently provided a rather comprehensive report

on his trip to Vientiane. Read here trip report their might be some helpful details for you.

Unfortunately, their are always serendipitous moments on these journeys that

sometimes involve extra cash payments so when folks are kind enough

to contribute travelling information, it's appreciated.

Here's even another Vientiane trip report2 Hope that helps.
