Taking a bus in Laos is an
experience not to be missed. Expect to share this form of
public transport not only with Laotians, but also what they are
taking and bringing to market - that means all kinds of vegetable
produce, and live animals as well. Every time a bus stops,
children will board with all kinds of interesting things to eat -
not the kind of food that you would expect to find on restaurant
menus!
Buses travel between all major
towns and cities - the type of bus may vary between a converted
pickup truck, a flat bed truck with benches or a more modern
traditional bus, Fares are always reasonable - but times of
departure and travelling times will vary a lot. Be patient,
and allow plenty of time when travelling by bus. Please note
that the prices below may change without
notice.
