How to get out Udon Thani
Nong khai (หนองคาย) is well worth a visit. To get there, take a tuk tuk to the Nong Khai bus station towards the north of town. Should cost about B50 from the centre. Ask for "sa tar knee rot may Nongkhai" (this is a better transliteration than what they normally give you)
Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is about one and a half hours away across the Mekong. Express Air conditioned buses leave the Udorn Central bus station six times daily for Vientiane. Bus Fare one way as of 04/2008 is 80 baht. A visa on arrival for Laos at the Friendship Bridge costs $35 for 30 days (two passport photos are required or there is an additional $1 charge).
