Here's my trip to Pakse, south of Laos
I took the sleeping train from Bangkok to Ubon.. 11 hours!
Then we caught a tuk tuk to the bus station 120 baht
The international bus ubon-pakse runs 2 times daily 9 am and 3 pm
so we got the 9 am one 200 baht each!
the bus took about 3 hrs to the new bus station in Pakse "Kriangxai".. well 2 hours on the bus and another hour to get through the immigration.
The visa cost 30$ but they prefer 1200 baht instead! hahaha
We decided to stay one night in pakse..
