Can I take a same-day bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong for a border run to Laos?
Is there a bus go from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong and return back to Chiang Mai the same day? I want to do boarder run to Laos
Answer summary
Yes, there is a bus service from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong. However, if you do not have a visa for Laos, you will need to spend two nights there. The green bus departs from Chiang Mai Arcade and takes approximately 5.5 hours to reach the border junction, where tuk-tuks are available for further transport. It is unclear whether a same-day return to Chiang Mai is possible.

The green bus goes from chiang mai arcade.it takes about 5 and a half hours and they will drop you off at the junction for the border where there will be som tuk tuks waiting for you. Not sure about getting back the same day.

There is a bus. But if you don't have a visa you must spend 2 nights in Laos. Or else use an agent who will drive you to the border and get you back same day for a fee.
