Country forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Laos

Could you show me the cheapest way to go from Xieng Khoung (Laos) to Chieng Rai (Thailand)? Which vehicle can I use?Which gate between Laos and Thailand wil I pass? Thank you very much.

It will take about 20-22 hours by bus to Huay Xai. Change at Luang Prabang.

Then cross the river to Chiang Khong (Thai border) and get a bus to Chiang Rai.
