Are there other options to cross the bridge? Next time I want to avoid the 20 minutes of hell involved with riding the bridge bus.

Private Taxi ?

Staying at Savan Vegas and use their minibus ?

Picking up your passport, just before closing thus avoiding all the people?

Driving your own car across ?

I think that is about it.

Leaving Savannakhet late didn't work last time. I rented a scooter on the last trip and picked up my passport after 3pm, dropped off the scooter at the hotel and then proceeded to the bus station, left the bus station at around 4:30pm and the bus was still jam packed when it left Laos. Maybe the Savan Vegas minivan will accommodate non guests.

We (took the wife with me) hated that trip with that Bus also very much. This year we either Fly, take our own car across or go somewhere else (Penang for example) to get the new Non-O

Thanks, yes I have seen that.

I have the money (in a fixed account) for years already (even enough for retirement (but still not old enough ;))). I just don't wanna bother with immigration anymore, as my current local immigration is very though to deal with.
