You can drive on the license issued to you in your country.

If you have a foreign licence you can get a Lao licence as well as long as you have a residents' permit. It costs about 100000 kip.

If you don't have a foreign licence, why do you think you can get a Lao licence? There is a licence test but the theory is in Lao. I am not sure if you have to be a Lao citizen to sit for it.

I suggest that you get your license in Thailand then you can use that one to drive here in Laos.
