The international train service between Bangkok and Vientiane started on July 20, with 300 passengers on board the first trip. This connection significantly improves the transport networks between Thailand and Laos. Upon arrival in Nong Khai, border formalities went smoothly, after which passengers could continue their journey to Vientiane. The service offers various travel options and can be booked up to 180 days in advance.
