Hello everyone 

I would like to border run from bangkok to Laos Vientiane.

Would it be ok if i catch the morning train? 

I see most of the people ride the night train.

 if any of you have traveled in the morning , please share your experience.

Is it still ok to cross the border by the time you arrive in the evening?

That’s an incredibly long and uncomfortable journey for a border run… just spend the same money and fly to MY if you’re going to risk it anyway.
