[[File:Mule-laos.jpg|700px|center|thumb|[[User:Amylin|Amylin]] hitchhiking out of Luang Nam Tha to the border between Laos and [[China]].]]
{{IsIn|South-Eastern Asia}}
 
=== Getting in ===
 
'''From [[China]]'''
 
There is only one border crossing at [[Mengla]] - [[Boten]]. It is possible to walk from the Chinese to the Lao side. If you get stuck in Mengla and need to spend the night accomodation costs 40-60 yuan but there are some empty shops, open building entrances with space to hide under the stairs, and [[user:Rovingsnails|RovingSnails]] walked to the top of an apartment building and slept on the rooftop without any complains.
 
'''From [[Thailand]]'''. There are 8 land border crossings.
 
Border crossing at [[Chiang Khong]] - [[Huay Xai]]. Walking or cycling across the friendship bridge joining Thailand with Laos is not allowed, but it is possible to hitchhike if one ignores the comments from the bus service (20 baht). From Thailand to Laos, the boder police kindly stopped a car for [[User:Rovingsnails|RovingSnails] and even gave them water for the way under the sun.
