Anyone know current situation re border visa exemption Vientiane/ Nong Khai ?
I'm wanting to use the train to Udon Thani from Vientiane but presume I can only use train from Nong Khai and have to get a taxi from Vientiane to the border .
Cheers
TLDR : Answer Summary
The current situation allows travelers to take a train from Kamsawath station in Vientiane directly to Udon Thani, with immigration processes for exiting Laos and entering Thailand being handled at the respective train stations instead of the border crossing. This is a recent update confirmed by a traveler.
