Travel Advice To Laos

A Visa is required to enter Laos and this should be applied for at least 5 working days prior to departure. However, it is now also possible to collect visas on arrival at Vientiane International Airport, Luang Prabang International Airport and the Friendship Bridge between Laos and Thailand without prior authorisation. This costs 75AUD for single entry or 90AUD for double entry and requires the filling in of an application form and one passport size photo. 

The airport tax in Laos for International Flights is 10USD and Domestic Flights is 1USD. 

Offices and museums are usually open from Monday to Friday from 8:00am until 4:00pm and often close for lunch between 12:00am and 2:00pm. Shops open from Monday to Saturday between 9:00am and 5:00pm and some also open on Sunday.

Funny, that curfew is that strictly enforced... i mean from my experience.. 
me and my wife (she's lao) were in Vientiane and in Vang Vieng recently and it seemed like alot of people were out after those hours, especially in Vang Vieng..we were staying in a hotel and it seemed the street outside got LOUDER after midnight.
My advice, be sure to have exactly where you are staying for immigration or a phone number. I didn't remember mine off hand and on the way back they had me get my phone number where i was staying.
One more, i had ALOT of trouble with getting money from the atm so i made a back up plan of going to a internet cafe and using western union to send money to my wife to collect instead of that useless atm machines in Vientiane. It proved well in emergencies.

i could take a plane. It grew to become into approximately $a hundred for a flight from Vientiane to Phnom Penn this summer season, i think of there is one flight daily. in case you get the prospect, consistent with probability you will possibly desire to flow on a excursion with UXO and flow interior the process the land mine factors. UXO is in charged of removing mines around the two international places. i in my opinion have been given a super gamble to break the bombs and mines they chanced on that day while i grew to become into there....very cool.
