Parked at XL — how do I get to the border? Do I need to find my own ride?

In short
Whether you're heading to Laos or catching a train, you don't have to hunt for a new ride at every step.
Yes, you can! It's a great trip for anyone who's short on time.
Start in the morning: drive to XL, park, and take the shuttle to the border. Once you've cleared the border formalities, carry on into Vientiane.

A relaxed one-day trip could include:
1Patuxai
2Pha That Luang
3Wat Si Saket
4Haw Phra Kaew
5Lunch
6A café or a stroll along the Mekong
Then head back to the Thai side in the evening and pick up your car at XL.
If you'd rather not plan the route or find transport yourself, XL can arrange a private car with driver for a 1-day Vientiane tour to suit your group size and the time you have.
Ideal for an easy trip to Laos
Go in the morning, back by evening — no need to change hotels.
If Vang Vieng is your goal, there's no need to drive your own car into Laos.
You can start like this:
1Drive to XL and park
2Go to the border
3Cross into Laos
4Travel on to Vang Vieng
After crossing the border, you can find onward transport yourself or book a car with driver in advance.
If you're traveling as a group or with lots of luggage, having a car waiting makes the trip much easier — and you can even plan a stop in Vientiane on the way.
