Alternatively you can catch a bus of the three companies offering Bangkok-Chiang Khan routes via Loei (45 minutes / 50 THB).Buses and minivans to Chiang Khan

To return to Bangkok, you have direct buses via Loei or the option of going to Loei to catch a plane to Bangkok. There is no bus terminal in Chiang Khan, but there are offices for two companies that offer buses to Bangkok (and therefore Loei):
- Air Muang Loei located here, which is the company with the most space to go only to Loei.
- Nakhon Chai Air located here, which, with its more comfortable VIP buses, fills up more easily and therefore favors passengers making a long journey.
Alternatively, you can reach the Loei bus terminal and from there choose your next destination (be careful, buses apart from Udon Thani and Khon Khaen are infrequent). The blue local bus 1395 (songthaew) which you take on route 201 in front of Wat Si Khun Muang at the stop near the arch in homage to the King. Otherwise at this stop. leaves every 30 minutes approximately (1h30 / 50 THB). You can also catch it elsewhere but there you are sure that it will pass. Note that to go to Nong Khai a return to Loei is obligatory and even a stop in Udon Thani is recommended.
