Travel by bus
|
|
|

|
|
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 traveling times will vary a lot. Be patient, and
allow
plenty of time when traveling by bus |

Travel by boat
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taking
boat is the other choice of the travel along the Mekong
River
in Laos |
|
Ferry boats run from Vientiane
to Luang Prabang and back as well as from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai and
back. Journeys can take several days, depending on the time of
year - and
whether traveling up or down river. This kind of travel is for
the experienced
only! Whilst cramped, hot and lengthy - it is one of the most
interesting
ways of touching the Lao lifestyle |
 |
|
Ferries usually depart early in
the morning. Times,
prices and just about everything else will change according to season |
