Therefore, I wud like to know whether the border crossing Chiang Kong in Chiang Rai province is open for foreigners or not ?

On the Laotian side, are there any buses to Vientiane in service ?

Yeah Chiang Khong is certainly a full international border crossing & has been since 95.

In Houei Xai, Laos, you get a month visa on arrival.

I dont think there is a one-bus service from Houei Xai to Vientiane, but there are mini bus services

Houei Xai - Luang Nam Tha

Luang Nam Tha - Oudom Xai - Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang - Vientiane.

If you want to see the roads / know about accommodation from Houei Xai - Luang Prabang, check out this report on GT Rider.

there IS also reported a through bus-Lao style!-maybe only every 2nd day HXay-via the new roads LNamTha-then LPrabang-then VTE-a total of some 24 hrs+. If your aim is to reach VTE-dont take this way-from that part of Thailand take the overnight VIP-bus to Udorn and change to the direct bbus to VTE there-or the usual border hop via bridge if you need to buy the visum for Laos.
