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

My six month is almost up and im gonna head to Laos for the border run. Can I just book a couple nights in Udon Thani, cross the border same day, and come back to Thailand? Or should I stay in Laos 1-2 days and then come back?

I want to move to Nong Khai, Thailand with a DTV, using the medical treatment - soft power option. It has very been difficult to get good information. I've contacted the hospital in Nong Khai but is there a better first step?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a DTV visa, and my boyfriend is here on a student visa. My 6-month stamp is expiring on August 13, so we’re looking into doing a border bounce, and I’d love some advice based on recent experiences.

These are the options we’re considering:

– Nong Khai (Laos) – Has anyone on a DTV visa done a border run there recently? Is it still straightforward?

– Cambodia by car – We have a car and were thinking of driving to Siem Reap, but I heard there might be land border closures. Is this still possible right now?

– Flying to Vietnam (Da Nang) – This might be the backup plan if land routes aren’t an option.

If anyone has done one of these recently or has any updates—especially about Cambodia—I’d really appreciate the help. Just trying to plan ahead before my stamp expires. Thanks so much 💛
