ORIGINAL POSTER

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?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user asks for advice on taking a morning train from Bangkok to Vientiane for a border run, questioning if it's feasible to cross the border upon arrival in the evening, and seeks experiences from others who have traveled at that time.

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.
