Let’s go!!! Viet Anh has just finished a 10-day self-sufficient Laos tour , and now I’m very eager to share the good memories of my wandering trip along Northern Laos.
Talking about Laos, I would compare the beauty of Laos to a girl in the highlands. That girl is innocent, with blue eyes in jade color, as beautiful as the waterfalls in the deep forest. And her hair stretches like the Mekong from the North.
She hides her beauty behind the vast green forests, so she is still something mysterious, new and attractive to those who love to explore. Peaceful, simple, quiet, peaceful is what Viet Anh can tell you about Laos.
Information about Vietnam – Luang Prabang bus (running in Hanoi) is not fixed, there are cars running on 2-4-6, some cars running on 3-5-7, some cars run every day, so Viet Anh does not take it. If you are informed, it is recommended that everyone go to the underground bus station to book a car before the date of departure.
For those who are far away, you can call to book in advance via bus VIETTRANS – Hotline: 093 254 1114 – Depart in Hanoi (there are two pick-up points: Hanoi Old Quarter and Nuoc Ngam bus station) go through Nam Can border gate. Nghe An) and to Luang Prabang.
Ticket price: from 900,000 to >1,000,000 VND/way (depending on time)
Note: It is recommended to book bus tickets 2-3 days before departure at Nuoc Ngam bus station (Hanoi)
To Luang Prabang from Ho Chi Minh
If going from Ho Chi Minh, you can:
(1) Fly to Hanoi to take a bus to Laos.
Or (2) take a bus to Kon Tum (Bo Y border gate) and take the bus to Pakse – Vientiane and then continue through Luang Prabang.
Ride a motorbike or private car through Luang Prabang
Bringing a car through Laos is very simple, I have a friend who used to bring a motorbike to Laos, he shared that “you just need the official documents and international driver’s license” to bring the car over. At the border gate, people do not make it difficult, just pay the fee to pass.
With motorbikes, you take an ordinary driver’s license to the local road in the city where you live to change it, about 7-10 days. I haven’t found out about my driver’s license yet.

Tay Trang border gate (Dien Bien) – Loong Sap border gate (Moc Chau) – Bo Y border gate (Kon Tum) – Nam Can border gate (Nghe An) – Cau Treo border gate (Ha Tinh) – Cha Leo border gate ( Quang Binh) – Lao Bao border gate (Quang Tri) – Na Meo border gate (Thanh Hoa)
