Fly to Udon Thani. Take a minibus from the airport to the border (1 hr). Take the border bus across the border (5-10 min). Take a taxi from the other side of the border to Vientiane (30-45 min).

Reverse process to get back

The bus trip aint that bad. It's just 1 hour and the seats aren't that bad unless you're a huge guy. And it's way cheaper than taking a taxi.

But if you can fly direct for the same price then why not do that? I forget why I didn't fly direct but there was some reason for it.

edit:
oh right, I think if you fly you cant fly across the border and have to land and change planes or some **** and it was a giant hassle. I'd check it out on thaivisa.com. They had detailed instructions there and also the latest news on how easy it is to get visas and what the procedure is etc.

What do you mean by "best?" Cheapest? Easiest regardless of price? Best value? Shortest travel time?

If there's a VIP sleeper bus just take a xanax and have yourself a pleasant trip. You should also get to the border early and avoid a lot of the lines. I was there at noon last week and it was the busiest I've seen it in ~25 crossings.

If you haven't been through vang viang and luang prabang yet go that way, LP is a really cool place.

I would recommend tethering off an iphone if you have one.
I paid 800 THB for 3GB/month of DATA. (TrueMove) I get 3g in most busy places of Phuket and edge is some.

I just speedtested in Kata Phuket, got 140 ping and 5 Mbps

i took the bus from CM>UT one time and i'm glad i did it. there was a stop midway through with a obv hooker bar at the bus station, and i still regret not having gotten off the bus there and checking it out
