Yes you can; I've crossed at Tha Li several times as it's my closest crossing. A good crossing point as there's little traffic; the port is still under construction and off the tourist route. I was the only one crossing each time; over into Lao and back very quickly, no queues. A Tuk Tuk will take you both ways, 40 baht each way. Visa on arrival at both sides.

Cheers

Cool. I am half way between ThaLi and NongKhai. Going to ThaLi is a much nicer ride.

I just did a Google maps search for Tha Li, it seems to b a distance from the Mekong, could someone tell me what the border town is?

Crossing at GPS 17.6905, 101.394667 (THALI CUSTOMS HOUSE,ด่านศุลกากรท่าลี่,BANNAKRASENG BOUNDARY POST,ด่านพรมแดน)

Nong Phue at GPS 17.7017305, 101.4138472 is the closest town.

Thank you.

Is it possible to cross with your own car/mc into Laos too? That would be great!

Always has been. As long as the vehicle is in your name. The car or truck has a vehicle passport from your LTD. Bike it is not required.

Any more recent updates on crossing with a motorbike at Tha Li, Loei - Nam Heuang, Vientiane Prefecture?

In particular, does anyone know the state of the highway 4 going up to Luang Prabang.
