#TravelPlan 
♥ Traveling to Laos is not difficult. You don't have to fly.
Just take a short car ride across.
Today, we will take you to Vientiane, a self-guided tour.
No guide, no car. This trip started when we had business in Nong Khai Province.
Then we had 1 day free before flying back.
In the evening, a 1-day trip to Vientiane was born.
10 places to visit in Vientiane
- Patuxai or Patuxai: You can go up and see the view from the top

Stop by before getting on the bus back to the border
♥ How to get there
On this trip, we took a bus across the 1st Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge
(Nong Khai) and it took less than an hour
to arrive at the morning market in Vientiane, Laos
♥ Expenses
- The cost of crossing the border is 30 baht per person, but if it is a holiday, there will be an additional fee of 5 baht
- The cost of the bus from the border to the morning market is 30,000 kip per person
- Other expenses depend on the individual
♥ Recommendations
Laos is an easy country to travel to, and the languages are similar.
We can speak Thai and communicate with people here.
Buying things, paying money, it's as easy as when we travel in the northeastern region of our country.
We didn't encounter any obstacles because we focused on traveling by ourselves.
Calling a car from the app and focusing on walking.
So we didn't feel cheated like other tourists
often talk about.
