Udon Thani airport to Vientiene (how to do it)?
I'm arriving to Udon Thani airport 4:25pm, do i have enough time to go from the airport, to Vientienne the same day, i don't really want to stay in Udon Thani, please let me know about the shared minibus from airport, to friendship bridge. I will need time to obtain a visa on arrival. Also, please let me know how to get to Vientienne, from the laos side of the border, the price, for 1 person, shared transport, or the local bus. I have a large backpack, in case the bus is too cramped, minibus or sangtheaw into town is OK, and may I pay in Baht ( i think the going rate is 20baht) for transport to Vientienne, in case the exchange rate at the border isn't good, i may not have Lao kipp with me until i settle in Vientienne, so may I pay in Baht? Thanks3
I think you have too little time and you'd better stay overnight in Udon Thani.Although the distance between those two places isn't long, you need to allow time for getting out of the airport, organising a ride, crossing the border and passing through immigration, plus finding accommodation in Vientiane.
Too stressfull, especially with a large backpack (why do people want to travel with their homes on the back?).

if your flight arrives on time, you should be on your way out of udon airport before 5 pm, one hour to border. less than 1/2 hour to submit VOA. wait time, stamp in, should be in Vientiane before 7:30 easily.tell tuk tuk / taxi to take you to nam phu, center of town, accommodations and food, couple minutes stroll from riverside.
OR, over night in UT. nice food town, great night market area, 80 baht limo to downtown / hotel / gh. on the cheap, fuzzy kens near bus station. walk to train station, all of 5 minutes, and very nice night market.
