Traveling by train is more comfortable than going by bus and you can also explore the landscapes along your journey.
You Go to the railway station to buy tickets from Hanoi - Vientiane. After getting off the train, take a car to Nong Khai. From here, you can take a bus from Nong Khai to Bangkok Nakhon Chai Airbus, and there will be a train direct to Bangkok Hualamphong.
If you are someone who likes experiencing new things, likes exploring, then travelling from Hanoi to BangKok by train or bus is also not a bad option. But your travel time will be longer than when you fly and with such a long distance, you will have to sit for a long time so it is very tiring.
