| A one-way ride from the border into Vientiane by tuk-tuk should be 100bt, a taxi 150bt, minibus 200bt, - well, this was last year. Sometimes you need to negotiate.
Thai Baht (notes) are accepted almost everywhere in Vientiane.
If you arrive by train in Nong Khai, the tuk-tuk to the border is 30-40bt, from the busstation in town 40-50bt, though they might ask for more initially.
Coming back into Thailand, there is a free shuttle service from the Thai border to a busterminal from which you may then get a tuk-tuk into Nong Khai, the train- or busstation. The alternative is to get an overpriced taxi to get away from the border - worth it if you got heavy luggage or you're an old geezer. |
