ubonjoe Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It is not on the list of crossings shown here. http://www.laos-guide-999.com/Laos-border.html Perhaps just an error in the name you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Is there a chance the op is asking about the new bridge that has been built and opened across the Mekong inside Laos at GPS 19.42652, 101.849399 on Laos highway 4. Border crossing from Thailand to Laos is at Loie. GPS from:17.6915, 101.395167 (สะพานมิตรภาพน้ำเหืองไทย-ลาว,THAILAND FRIENDSHIP NAMHUENG BRIDGE,Nam Heuang this new bridge is some 250 km north of this borders crossing. Loie Crossing into Laos. New bridge over the Mekong inside Laos. http://www.tatnews.org/new-bus-route-between-loei-and-luang-prabang-launched-ahead-of-aec/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsephemera Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Yes, this bridge- freindship bridge 3 or 4? some websites don't list it as VOA possible but this one does: http://www.gt-rider.com/touring-information-overview/s-e-asian-border-crossings/thailand-laos-border-crossing-notes Edited April 19, 2014 by angelsephemera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, this bridge- freindship bridge 3 or 4? some websites don't list it as VOA possible but this one does: http://www.gt-rider.com/touring-information-overview/s-e-asian-border-crossings/thailand-laos-border-crossing-notes Neither of theses are number 3 or 4. The first photo is of a new bridge across the Mekong some 250 km inside Laos on highway 4. Look at the GPS. The other bridge is outside Loie (GPS is given) with a link to an article about a new bus service using this crossing daily. the bus service goes from Loie to Langorabang on Lao highway 4. By this article would make one thank that there is a Thai/Lao full service border crossing. This is the Ban Na Kra Seng Border Check Point. The river you see is not the Mekong but a tributary. http://www.tatnews.org/new-bus-route-between-loei-and-luang-prabang-launched-ahead-of-aec/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
