Ok excellent info, thanks again....

Mr Nottingham, are there flights Bangkok - NongKhai? or only to Udon Thani? If I rented a car in NongKhai, would you recommend driving to Vientiane if I just wanted to stay in town by the river? Last dumb question: visa is $50, listed on Laos website. Can I get one right at immigration or is it smart to get one before? I am used to driving on both sides of the road, so should be OK................ thanks again,

OK thanks guys...

OK, excellent, thanks! flying to Nakhon thren renting sounds good. Dumb question, farang renting a car any problem? and getting gas easy on the way?

great photos and report! May I ask how I would travel to Buen Kan Province from BKK. Doesn't seem to be any airports close by. How long would a drive be and is a rental car "doable" - roads, etc? TIA!

can anyone tell me "best" way to get to Bueng Kan province from BKK? Way up in farthest northeast, near Laos. Doesn't seem to be a local airport - is Udon Thani the closest? what are the roads like when you get out into the country - is rental car out of question? Thanks all,
