Vang Vieng Railway Station Location and Introduction

The first train is the 133 express train from Apwa, Bangkok to Vientiane. The journey is expected to take about 11 hours. It will go through exit formalities at Nong Khai Station and finally arrive at Vientiane Station (Khansawa Station) to go through entry formalities into Laos.

The Lao government is set to introduce a visa-free policy for Chinese visitors to promote tourism in the second half of Visit Laos Year 2026.

Thailand is expected to pilot the cross-border railway between Thailand and Laos from July 13 to 14. As the China-Laos railway between Laos and China has been opened, the pilot of the Thailand-Laos railway is of great significance, which means that the railway travel from Bangkok to Beijing will be realized, which will inevitably bring new atmosphere to the cross-border tourism and cargo transportation of the three countries, and connect the regional railway networks of China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
