The pick-up from the Chiang Mai accommodation is scheduled for approximately 9:00 am, followed by a 5-hour journey to Chiang Kong. During the trip, the minivan will pause at the Hot Spring (Mae Ka Jan) or a bus station for a restroom break, then proceed to Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) for a 50-minute stop before continuing to Chiang Kong. Upon arrival in Chiang Kong, passengers will be dropped off at the Thai Immigration post to complete the exit procedures from Thailand. Afterward, the journey continues across the border to Huay Xai in Laos, where the Lao Immigration authorities will handle the entry process. Once all immigration steps are completed, passengers will board a bus for a 12-hour trip to Luang Prabang. The transport from Chiang Mai to Chiang Kong is via a minibus, while the journey from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang is on a comfortable local sleeper bus.

This two-day transfer offers a cross-border journey from Thailand to Laos. Starting from Chiang Mai around 9:00 am, you’ll travel by minibus to Chiang Kong, with a stop at Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) en route. After processing at both Thai and Lao immigration posts, you’ll board a big local sleeper bus for the 12-hour ride to Luang Prabang. Remember to arrange your visa beforehand, as fees are not included. In Laos, sleeper buses feature two types of beds: single and large twin. Single beds are for individual passengers, arranged in rows, while large twin beds accommodate two travelers side by side. These buses are popular for overnight journeys, offering passengers flexibility in their sleeping arrangements. Additionally, the Loas transportation officer arranges the bus day by day, making it unpredictable and beyond passengers’ control or choice.

• The sleeper bus do not have a restroom on it but we stop every bus station.
