See what other blogs are saying about the Laos – Thailand train:

“The train from Vientiane to Bangkok takes between 11-12 hours, so I recommend booking a bed in a first- or second-class cabin. Only one of the two overnight trains that serves the Vientiane-Bangkok route is equipped with lie-flat beds; It departs Thanaleng at 5 p.m.”

“It’s easy to travel from Bangkok to Vientiane (or vice versa) by train, using the daily overnight sleeper train direct from Bangkok to Nong Khai and a special connecting international shuttle train from Nong Khai to the new international rail terminal at Thanaleng in Laos, some 13 km outside Vientiane.  The train uses the new rail link over the Friendship Bridge across the Mekong river into Laos”
