Frequently asked questions
What is a person from Laos called
"Lao" can be used as an interchangeable word for "Laotian" when referring to a person from Laos.
Can a Laos visa be extended
Laos offers a 30-day visa on arrival at all of its airports at land crossings. Visas may be extended twice for up to 90 days without leaving the country. Visa can be extended at the immigration office in Vientiane, which costs US$2 per day if you apply before the expiry date.
On what side of the road are cars driven in Laos
Driving is on the right side, but it is not unusual to see Lao drivers go the wrong way down the left lane before crossing over to the right and this is a potentially dangerous situation if you are not ready for it.
Can I rent cars or motorcycles in Laos
Chinese- and Japanese-made 100cc and 110cc step-through motorbikes can be hired for approximately 40,000K to 120,000K per day in most large centres and some smaller towns. You can try to get a Japanese bike if travelling any distance out of town. In Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, Tha Khaek and Pakse, 250cc dirt bikes are available from around US$25 to US$50 per day.
It is also possible to hire a self-drive vehicle, but it might cost a little more and the driver might not even take responsibility for damages.
