Ban Huai Kon border crossing is the best of them all. Hardly any tourists at all. Just make all copies of documents before you go there.
There is one shop that copy documents, but the service is bad and expensive.
Have a nice trip.

Does have a list of documents needed to be copied for both Thai and Laos side. Are 110cc allowed across. Is 30 days available on HK crossing and is it easy to get 30 days as of February 2015?
