The Journey takes roughly 13 hours from Pai and 8-9 hours from Chiang Mai including the 1.5 hour or so you will spend crossing the border and filling in paperwork in Laos.
We use modern cars and our drivers all have 10 years plus experience.
The ride is ensured to be comfortable with plenty of room and we take regular stops in case you need to go to the bathroom or need to go shop.
The cost of the journey is ฿2800
You should bring 150฿ for the boat to cross the border and depending on your passport your Laos Visa is likely $40 which you should bring in cash or I can exchange for ฿1800 (cheaper than in THB)
