Jay Sata Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The cheapest and easy way to Vientiane is via the express bus from the Udon terminus to the morning market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct99q Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just to add to the above....the cheapest way is the bus from the main bus station there are however a few drivers who will take you from the airport all the way thru to Vientiane. They are not cheap though. Contact Mr. Chetha via mut mee guesthouse (they can pass on his phone number). Very reliable, safe driver but i do not know his current rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetT Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The cheapest and easy way to Vientiane is via the express bus from the Udon terminus to the morning market. To use the bus service u must obtain your Laos visa in advance from a travel agent and pay for it in Thai baht not $ which is cheaper if obtained at the bridge. There is a train about 11am which is ridiculously cheap......about 11 baht a couple of years ago. At Nong Khai railway station which is not far from the bridge u can take 5 to 10 min 30 baht tuk tuk to the border. 20 baht bus after Thai imm. across the bridge to Laos imm., then 20 baht public bus from the bridge into Vientiane bus station. There must also be taxis available for haggle. It was quite straight forward a couple of years ago. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
