  1. Get in touch with Dum Soda, as he has a small pub in Nong Kai and can advise on getting across the border. 100 meters from the Dum Soda pub is a nice hotel, clean and modern at 500 Baht per night. Dum Soda had updated his facebook page or search on the board here for more info regarding Dum Soda as I was a few years ago.

Additionally, the bamboo shacks of old, on the riverbank, right at the town centre of Vientiane, have turned into a South Korean funded, people's promenade, good for people watching. If one were to walk up the river bank, in an up stream direction, there are many establishments, that cater for drinking and such, ranging from faux Parisian style complexes, to other more rudimentary, mom and pop convenience stores, with concrete tables and benches, next to the drinks chiller.

  3. I always enjoy visiting the Nongkhai / Vientiane area....nice people, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful setting. From Udon Airport, there are minivans that wait until they have enough passengers and then go straight to Nongkhai and they can drop you at a hotel or at the border. The journey is not more than an hour from memory and it was something like 100 or 150 baht. I don't know what the story is with taxis crossing the border as I have never done that myself. Immigration overland entering Laos can be slow if you need to get a visa there....the wait can be 30 - 45 minutes - which is not really that long, but the waiting area is about as basic as it gets and is outdoor - so if raining or very hot, it's not that pleasant. That said, I have not crossed in a couple of years so things might have changed. I hope this helps....
