Thailand-Laos New Route to Launch September 9, 2026

The Thai state-owned bus company (BKS) has announced the launch of a new international bus route connecting Udon Thani, a major city in northeastern Thailand, and Vientiane, the capital of Laos, starting September 9, 2026. This new route will coordinate with two feeder routes connecting Udon Thani Airport and Udon Thani city to Vientiane, aiming to make travel between Thailand and Laos smoother. This initiative is intended to promote tourism and economic exchange between the two countries and is expected to significantly improve the convenience of cross-border logistics and people's movement. By strengthening connections to airports and ports, passengers will be able to reduce transfer hassles and travel more efficiently. With the launch of this new route, BKS aims to further strengthen the transportation network between Thailand and Laos and contribute to the development of the entire region.
