(pic left : bicycle in Luang Prabang)
I did an overland travel from Bangkok to Vientaine by bus. It was a great journey, basically slept throughout the way from Bangkok till the next morning in Nong Khai. From Nong Khai there are tuk tuk service for about 20-30bt to the Thai Immigration Complex. After getting your passort stamp you can easily hop into a mini bus that service both the Thai and Laos immigration complex across the Friendship Bridge.
On the Laos site there is suppossingly a bus that run from the the complex to Vientaine but I took a taxi for 60bt per person.
I would not say this is the best but I wanted to see the Friendship Bridge.
Around Vientiane, I would suggest you to rent a bicycle as the city isn't very big but its really dusty. But you will be able to cover the whole Vientiane in a day with a Bicycle.
In Luang Prabang, a bicycle will also do the job but if you are going to Pak Ou Cave (don't waste your time and money if you are travelling alone, too far and expensive to be on the boat) or Koung Si Waterfall you might be able to experience the boat on the Mekong River. I was on a shared boat and paid USD7 per person for 2 days to Pak Ou and Kong Si Waterfall.
Tuk Tuk is also available around Luang but why waste the money if you can walk around the town by foot.
