train udon thani to vientiane
From Asia for Visitors:
At some point in the future, there may be a train from Thailand into Vientiane, as a result of an agreement between Thailand, Laos and French in 2005. There is already train service from Thailand across the Friendship Bridge, so there’s just the 28 kilometers or so to be laid between the bridge and downtown Vientiane. Note that the rail service from Thailand is from the border city of Nong Khai only. If coming from Bangkok, you must change chains in Nong Khai. Currently, there is no train service in Laos at all.
As I understand it, the main train takes travelers to Nong Khai. Then it is required to book a separate international shuttle-type train across the Friendship Bridge into Laos, which stops at Thanaleng station — located at least 13 kilometers from Vientiane. To proceed on to that city, it is necessary to take a bus or tuk-tuk, for there is no rail connection to Vientiane. Read more at Seat61 and Retire-Asia. A June 4, 2010, post on the Gecko Villa Thailand Travel Blog said that there is just one of these shuttle trains running daily, but did not mention the time. If this was covered in one of the other sites already linked to, then I failed to notice it.
You may find something of value or interest in at least one of the following few websites that I am adding in a March 5, 2012, post edit. Please note the publishing dates for the websites — some information may be outdated by the time you check it out:
