There are many exciting combined tour options available for travelers who wish to explore both Thailand and Laos. One popular option is border crossing via Houeixay in Laos and Nongkhai in Thailand, allowing visitors to experience the best of both countries by road. This route takes travelers through stunning countryside landscapes, small villages, and a chance to experience local cultures.

Another option for combined tours is to connect via flights between major cities, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang, and Vientiane. This allows visitors to experience the bustling cities, ancient temples, and beautiful beaches of Thailand before crossing over to the laid-back lifestyle and serene landscapes of Laos.

No matter the route, combined tours between Thailand and Laos offer an excellent opportunity to experience two distinct cultures in one trip. Visitors can explore the unique cuisines, traditions, and histories of both countries while enjoying the natural beauty and warm hospitality of the people.

Thailand and Laos: from the Golden Triangle to Luang Prabang

Frequently asked questions

How do I cross from Thailand to Laos?

The most common route in our itineraries is the Chiang Khong–Huay Xai border on the Mekong, after Chiang Rai. From there you continue to Luang Prabang. There are also direct flights from Bangkok.

How many days should I spend in Luang Prabang?

At least two or three days: temples, the night market, the dawn alms-giving ceremony, Kuang Si waterfalls and the Pak Ou caves.

When is the best time to go?

November to February, with dry weather and pleasant temperatures in northern Thailand and Laos. March and April are very hot; from June to October it often rains.

Do I need a visa for Laos?

Many nationalities can get a visa on arrival or an e-visa, but the rules change: check the current requirements before you travel.
