Crossing the border from here
This service ends in Mukdahan, the town. The crossing itself is the Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, reached on foot or by local transport from the terminal, and it leads to Savannakhet, Laos.
Published hours are 06:00–22:00 ICT, set by the crossing rather than by the bus, and a land border can close at short notice. Book the return separately once you know how long the queue took.
