Laos Transport

With the help of foreign governments in Laos, managed to organize a network of roads, but many of them do not have the asphalt coating. Main highways of the country is the highway number 13, connecting Luang Prabang and south of the country. Between provinces and within the main modes of transport are buses and trucks, but not to each province can be reached by public transport. Types of buses ranging from a converted truck with benches to large modern buses with air conditioning.

An alternative bus service is river transport. The main water arteries, are used for transport, are the Mekong, Nam Ou, Nam Khan and Nam Nguma. Railways in Laos, no.

The city can move on the fat-tukah. Payment for a taxi in Laos produced exclusively by appointment, although there is some set fee, which usually amounts to half dollar per km. The search for agreement is always better, before you sit down in the car. Taxis can be hired as a separate trip, and the whole day. In Vientiane, taxis can be found in Votayskom airport, the Friendship Bridge and at the morning market.

Almost everywhere you can rent a bicycle or motorcycle. Rental cars available in Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Pakse, but the price is high enough, so this service in Laos undeveloped.
