jobin Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Any help on this Q? Would go train, maybe bus. Getting across Laos seems troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 No train North from Chiang Mai, I'm afraid we're the end-of-the-line, unless the second freight-line from China to the ports ever gets built. The plane is your best answer, there's a daily flight (takes 1 hour 20 mins) direct, operated by China Eastern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 or hitch a ride with some Chinese truckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgdawg Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 ...isn't there new Chinese road built through Laos? I know I could be way wrong about it. I know once you get much past Louang Prabang (ancient Laos capital), roads degenerate pretty quickly. Many mountain ranges to clear prior to arrival in Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam. Helluva historical battle site from horrific battles in 1954. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Make your way to Jinhong in Yunnan. Take a cargo boat or even a speed boat to Chiang Kong in Chiang Rai province. Never done it but google it to get all the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) For the train come back in 10 years or so, About 1000 km over land via Burma or Laos to Kunming? You should do a documentation and sell to National Geographic. How many days do you plan to travel? Indeed there seem to be a road connection from Nong Khai/Vientiane to Kunming. That's the road where our lovely Chinese friends drive down with their camping vans Edited April 14, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
