Has anyone crossed the border by train from Vientiane to Nong Khai?

I will be in Vientiane for a couple days next week and booked a train back to Bangkok. Seen some travelers do this on YouTube and figured I’d give it a try.

I know some anonymous posters were not allowed to cross over from Laos on foot. Just wondering what the process is like.

I’m assuming it will be a smooth process of showing them my visa and getting my stamp lol

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?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has used a train ticket as proof of an onward ticket, and if it was accepted by AirAsia staff at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The ticket I intend to buy is from Nong Khai, Thailand, to Vientiane, Laos.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi. I've done the spy glass thing and didn't find anything recent.

Has anyone done the Surathani/ Padang besar and return border run (Bounce) recently?

Do I book tickets to Padang Besar (Thai Side) or Stay on the train to Padang Besar itself?

I'm on Multi Entry visa and need to activate next 90 days.

Any issues at the border (1300thb service charge like at Sado)?

Many thanks for your help

🙌 Hello Community 🙌

I’m looking for some advice please about crossing into Malaysia from Wang Prachan (Satun).

I believe this is a great crossing point, however I’m relying on public transport to & from back to KPG.

What is the best route to take from your experience?

I believe from my research you can do this trip easily in a day?

Love any recommendations around the national park area.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

🙌💛🏝️

Good day everyone

I am exploring the possibility of travelling from Hua Hin to Udon Thani for a few days and then travelling from Udon Thani to Bangkok both journeys by train, so my question is how should I go about getting the tickets? We'll be in Hua Hin for a few days prior to travelling so there's opportunity to get the tickets from the station, or can anyone recommend an online site?
