Vieng Xai
Getting there and away
Bus
Songtheaws generally head to Vieng Xai from the Sam Neua bus station every half an hour from early morning until about 15:00. The journey costs 8,000 kip per person, and takes about an hour. The bus station is approximately 4 km from Sam Neua. It is also possible to rent a private songtheaw to take you there and back. For two people this will costs around 160,000 kip with more people the price will increase. On arrival, descend down the main road to the bottom where the Sam Neua Tourism Agency is.
Songtheaws leave from Vieng Xai all morning at approximately one hour intervals from the market area. The cost is 8,000 Kip to Sam Neua.
There is one bus a day to the Laos/Vietnam border at Na Meo. This will drop and pick up from the main turn off from the main road, approximately 3 km from town. There are any number of budding motorcycle taxi chaps willing to give you a lift to the bus pick-up and drop-off point for an extortionate fee -- your only other option is a long, muddy walk.
