Luang Prabang and Vientiane are normally the next stop, depending on the direction you're heading in.
The adventurous can make their way Vientiane down the river by kayak. The trip should leave in the early morning, placing you in the capital by 6pm. For your belongings, dry bags are available or you can opt to place them in the accompanying van which will take them along and carry you at least part of the way. Expect to pay 170,000-220,000 kip
You can book trips all the way to Bangkok (via Vientiane) but since you'll change mode of transport at least once anyway it's just as easy to arrange this trip at your own pace.
Buses to Vietnam are notorious for taking even longer than expected and being a really unpleasant experience.
