frenchfarangjomtien Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Closest entry point to Vietnam from Thailand by land ? Should cross Lao or Cambodia ? What is the shortest way to Vietnam by land from any Thai airport ? Hi, Imagine that you would like to go to Vietnam by land. Which Thai airport is the closest to any entry point in Vietnam ? I know that i will have to cross Lao first, and then arrive in Vietnam, but I cannot find the easiest way to do this by land. Or maybe i should cross Cambodia ? Thank you for your help.

Old Croc Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The closest place in Thailand to Vietnam would be Nakhon Phanom in the north east. As the crow flies it is about 100ks across Laos to VN. Probably five times that distance on the ground via Route 12 across the Lao mountains. I've no idea if there is a bus or similar on the route.

bermondburi Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If you go to Mukdahan in Isaan and cross the second Friendship Bridge to Savanakhet in Laos you can then get a bus to Vietnam and it's only four hours I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
