Friendship Bridge


Of interest to travellers is the Nong Khai train station in Thailand via the Friendship bridge. This is about a 15-30 minute journey from the Vientiane Airport. The Friendship bridge is one of the few places in the world where traffic must switch driving sides.

As always, make sure you leave plenty of time to get back to the Vientiane Airport in time for your connection and enjoy your layover city rather than whiling away the time leaning up against your luggage in the departures lounge.
