Staying at Nok Noi Guesthouse, Huai Kon - Nam Nguen International Checkpoint, Ban Tha Suang Homestay, Ban Pak Ngum Homestay. This checkpoint used to allow only Thai and Lao people to pass. It has only recently opened as an international checkpoint a few years ago. This checkpoint is very suitable for those who want to travel to Luang Prabang. The Huai Kon checkpoint on the Laos side is called Nam Nguen Checkpoint, located 138 kilometers from Nan city. On the Laos side, it is 3 kilometers from Muang Nguen. There is a regular minibus service at the Laos checkpoint.
The fare to Muang Nguen is 20 baht per person. When full, departure is at 08:00 AM. The checkpoint closes around 5:00 PM. On holidays or after work hours on the Laos side, an overtime fee of 40 baht applies. For tourists who want to travel independently, I recommend the following routes: From Huai Kon checkpoint, you may stay one night in Muang Nguen, then take a bus in the morning to Muang Hongsa, explore Muang Hongsa, then take a bus to Ban Tha Chuang and stay one night at a homestay. The next day, take a slow boat at 11:00 AM to Luang Prabang, arriving in the evening.
Alternatively, travel from Muang Nguen to Udomchai or Muang Chai, then continue by bus to Luang Prabang, possibly staying one night in Udomchai. Another route is from Muang Nguen to Huai Khaen, then by bus to Pak Beng, stay one night in Pak Beng, then take the slow boat at 9:30 AM to Luang Prabang, arriving in the evening. The roads are almost fully completed now, likely within a few months, allowing vehicles to travel at speed. This route is very suitable for travelers heading to the Tai Lue city of Hongsa.
Then continue to Luang Prabang.
