Next we need a Visa to get into Laos.
This is where you get your visa on arrival, if you got American Dollars then it is 30 dollars, If you pay in Thai Baht then it is 1,500baht, on the weekends and not normal working hours there is an extra levy of 100baht. Here there is a money changer, a good idea is to change your Thai Baht into Dollars and then pay for your visa in dollars, saves a few hundred baht.
The local currencey in Laos is the Kip and for 100baht= 26,500Kip so bring a rucksack to carry your money
around in, although they do prefer Dollars
After this you will have to pay an entry fee, 50baht for Thais with border passes and 10baht for farangs with passports.
For a tuk tuk into Vientiane and visit 3 destinations and back to the border it costs 600baht, an aircon taxi doing the same cost's 800baht and a minibus 1,000baht.
This is the warning sign to tell you that they drive on the wrong side of the road, yep, for some reason they drive on the right hand side of the road.
