Chiang Khong

Border Crossing to Laos
The small town of Chiang Khong in Thailand's Chiang Rai Province, sits on the Mekong River opposite Huay Xai, Laos.
The main border landing for international crossing is Tha Bak, at the northern end of Chiang Kong.
After you've legally exited Thailand via the small Thai Custom & Immigration Post, you board on a longtail boat to Huay Xai.
On the Huay Xai side, the Lao immigration post is alongside the pedestrian ferry landing. Thirty-day tourist visas are available on arrival for USA$ 30.
Plans to construct a bridge from Chiang Khong to Huay Xai were derailed by the economic crash but it's only a matter of time before a span makes the ferry crossing obsolete.
