What are the current visa requirements and conditions for crossing at Huai Kon Border Checkpoint to Laos?

Hey all

Please see the edit below.

I was thinking of doing a bounce at the huai kon crossing. Huai Kon Border Checkpoint

[members only]

I was there in 2019. They said i could cross into laos, but i could not bring my motorcycle (i went to chiang khong instead)

I wss thinking of the huai kon crossing juat for fun. Has anyone do it in 2022 or 2023?

Thanks. I have several days, and i plan to ride around nan, so i may just go and try. If not i can easily hit chiang khong.

Thanks

Edit to add:

Ok. Feb 3, 2023. In order to cross at the huai kon checkpoint you need a laos visa in your passport. No e visa. No visa at the border.

You must have the physical visa in your passport.

Tomorrow i am Off to chiang khong.
