How to Go to Bangkok from Vientiane Cheap and Easy

-


There are various travel agencies that can book you a bus/train tickets from Vientiane to Bangkok. The last time I was in Vientiane, I just booked a bus ticket through one of those travel agencies and paid 50,000 Kip for a ticket to Nong Khai. I was picked up in my hostel and was taken to the bus station behind Talat Sao Market.

The driver then bought a bus ticket for me to Nong Khai. I went to the counter and checked how much the bus ticket was and it was only 15,000 Kip.

It’ll be cheaper if you just go there instead and buy your own ticket. You can just go together with fellow travelers you meet in your hostels or you can take a tuktuk or moto to the bus station.

From Nong Khai there are overnight buses that go to Bangkok. Prices vary depending on the type of bus. The one that I took only cost me 380 Baht. It’s an airconditioned bus (no toilet onboard) and it’s very comfortable for me.

The bus will then drop you off at Mo Chit Bus Station. Just walk towards the City Bus Station (ask the information counter for the direction) and get on bus #3 if you want to go to Khao San Road via Phra Athit). It isn’t far from where the bus drops off passengers inside Mo Chit Bus Station. The bus only cost 6.50 Baht.

If you buy your own bus tickets it will only cost you:

Bus from Vientiane to Nong Khai: 15,000 Kip (Approx 60 Baht)
Bus from Nong Khai to Bangkok: 380 Baht
Bus from Mo Chit to Khao San (bus stop near Khao San)
Total: 446.50 Baht
(Tuktuk to Talat Sao BUs Statioi not included)

Please check the date of the article, prices can go higher with time.

Calpurnia, Europe - Is this Country a Real Place? The Story, Facts, Location

Calpurnia is a small, snowy country located to the south west of the French Alps. But wait a minute... only in our imaginations. This fantasy country is the concoction of the film 'A Royal Winter', and so, sadly, can not be visited in real life. In this 2017 rom-com, a young woman flees to Europe for some soul searching and meets a prince who introduces her to a world different from any she has ever known. South West of the French Alps? Of course, we could draw inspiration from the location given for this imaginary country, and take a visit to the South East of France. Perhaps you could consider a visit to the city of Grenoble, which lies in the Auverge-Rhône-Alpes region of the country, at the foot of the mountains between two rivers. Grenoble is a centre for winter sports and is well known for its museums, universities and cultural attractions. Here you can take one of the bubble-like cable cars to the summit of the hill at the heart of the city to visit the 18th ce...

As digital nomads, we often rely on internet to get our work done regardless of where we go. Sometimes, we spend a great deal of time, in our hostels/hotels, restaurants with wifi and coffee shops. Coffee shops would probably be one of the most popular place among digital nomads and other internet workers as they’re often more quiet, affordable, comfortable and provides fast wifi in comparison to restaurants. Here are some tip on how you can stay productive while working from coffee shops anywhere in the world: Prepare Your Stuff Before You Go Write down what you want to accomplish before you go to the coffee shop of your choice. If you’re thinking of editing pictures, then make sure to bring your portable harddrive where you usually save your pics.
