    Actually, depending on where you are in Laos, you don't need to do anything. Along the river, when you're opposite a Thai town, you can pick up AIS and DTAC really easily.

    You will also have needed to pay a deposit for international calls if you are on a monthly billing.

    Last i was there a coupla years ago my Thai sim worked up to the brewery but not beyond, which meant a 10 min ride from Vientiane whenever i wanted to call home.

    assuming my mobile phone does`nt work,are Laos SIM cards easily available and how much do they cost ?
    Further,which is better in the north east/laos area`s....DTAC or AIS ?
    My gf says 1 2 call does`nt work that well in Buriram.
    I used a 1 2 call SIM in Buriram a couple of years back and found the coverage very patchy.I used to have to climb onto the gf`s house roof just to make a call and could`nt recieve anything at ground level...
