Morning of  New Year's 2010's coming....

We got up early and prepared small luggages for one day trip.Today we will enter the border to Lao.
After fast breafast then we drove a van and left it to some place near by which took care our van for
one night but charge around US $ 5:-/day. Well, it's safe and secure enough also inside building,that
preferable too.

Actually there are so many local agents who arrange temperary boder pass for travellers, they charge
around US $ 5 :-/head for 3 days-2 nights stayed but we agreed to enter by ourselves cause use our own passports can stay in Lao for 30 days without visa for Thai people but for foreigner should be use visa
for apply at Lao (visa on arrival),can stay in Lao 30 days with pay fee at US $ 30:-,if extend stayed they
will charge US $ 2:-/day.

First we went to the railway station,heard that the train will reach the station around 09.30 am then take
around 15 minutes to one station in Lao but not Vientain ( that we have to change the bus again).
We attended to wait but the staffs their informed later that the train will late arrival at 10.00 or 11.00 am
time,not sure.. better we can go directly.

From the railway station ,we use a local taxi took around 5 minutes reached the border.

Around 09.00 am we reached the border and did process,actually it didn't take much time but still more
people during public holidays like new year so a little bit took time for queue-up.There were buses from
the border every 5 miniutes took us passed the bridge to Lao charge fews.
