HOW TO GET TO LAOS FROM HANOI?
There are many border gates in Vietnam to entry to Laos, but for buses from Hanoi to Laos, we only get 3 main border gates such as:
- Tay Trang Border Gate which is located in the North West of Vietnam - Dien Bien Phu province - please take a note that this border gate is for the bus to Muang Khoua / Nong Khieu / Luang Prabang / Vang Vieng in Laos.
- Nam Can Border Gate which is located in the Center of Vietnam - Nghe An province - Please be noted that this border gate is for the buses to Xieng Khoang/Luang Prabang in Laos. With any traveler has Vietnam E-Visa, must go to Luang Prabang by bus through this border gate.
- Cau Treo Border Gate which is located in the Center of Vietnam - Ha Tinh province, for the bus to ThaKhet/ Phonsavan/Vientiane in Laos.
However, for going to ThaKhet, you will get the same bus Hanoi to Vientiane, arrive in the crossroads of Nam Thong, you will be transferred to another local bus to move to ThaKhet. (No worry, our staff will support you in order to change the second bus at Nam Thong ).
