It may also possible to travel the Cambodian part of the Laos-Cambodia crossing by slow boat or speed boat, instead of by bus or taxi (see Getting There by Road). Visitors should be aware that accidents can and do happen when travelling at high speeds along the unpredictable Mekong River.
Getting There by Rail
Getting There by Road
It is possible to enter Laos by road from Vietnam at several places, though not all can arrange visa on arrival. The most popular route is from Lao Bao in Vietnam to Donsavanh in Laos.. Laos can also be entered from China, from Mengla in Yunnan province to Luang Namtha.
Overland travel to Myanmar is not feasible owing to security risks.
It is possible to enter Laos from Cambodia between Stung Treng (Cambodia) and Don Det (Laos) with some degree of hassle, although this crossing is by no means reliable and it is not possible to get a visa on arrival. Check for the latest information locally.
