It's 3 b/s borders with thailand that lao closed (and savannakhet airport) I'd say few if any people could them on a map :P Nong Khai - Vientiane and Mukdahan - Savannakhet are both open

I am watching this very closely, as my daughter is scheduled to be at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane on April 1st.

Thanks for the timely updates. Looking closely at possible options.
