Hi All,

We are a party of 7 travelling to Laos at the end of November this year. We will be arriving at Vientiane airport from KL and heading to Luang Prabang the very same day. I am doing some research online as where to buy the tickets for the sleeping bus as well as where to drop our cases for a few hours while touring the city (I've already touched base with a few hotels but all agreed that this service is only offered to guests staying in their premises); and I have to admit I was not very successful at either. As you are a Vientiane resident you may know whether there are storage lockers in Northern bus station (no available facilities at the airport, confirmed). Also, do you think we would manage to get tickets for the sleeping bus on the same day? I have tried unsuccessfully to buy them online. I've got in contact via email with a travel agency that was recommended to us and this is the price given: $30 each + $50 bank transaction fee (and this is where my concern lies.......).

Your advise would be most grateful.

Thank you very much in advance for your help,

M. Maria

No storage facilities at northern bus terminal or airport.  I suggest you either stay overnight in VT as you will then be able to see VT at a leisurely pace then a bus next day.

Or catch a plane from VT to LP the day you arrive. There are 3 flights a day from VT to LP. Minibus from VT to Vang Vieng and then bus from there to LP. Takes approx 7 hours from VV to LP.
