Is the ferry still operational with the new friendship bridge open ?

yes,

cause u can't take a motorcyle across the brige, ( if u have more than 5 you can but you need pay for an agent)

Taking motorycle to Laos at Chiang Khong

Clear Thai customs
Take the car ferry for 1,000 baht to Laos
Leave the bikes at Lao customs.
Cross back to Chiang Khong.
Take a Tuk Tuk to the Friendship Bridge
Get stamped out of Thailand.
Cross the bridge in the shuttle bus for 20 baht.
Get.stamped into Laos.
Take a Tuk-Tuk all the way upstream to the car ferry & Laos customs to pick up & clear their bikes .
Hey presto you're in Laos with ur bike.

A real hassle

Or u could cross the bridge. :-)

Confusion. Chiang Khong is in Chiang Rai province, and Chiang Khan is in Loei province, right at the Maekhong opposite Laos, but no border crossing there.

No, you must go to Thali Immigration about 40-50km from Chiangkhan,..
