How can I book seats for new train in Laos : Ventiane to Luang Prabang.

I did not find anything on Internet.

 

Thank you.

You can book it through agents in Vientiane no less than 3 days before...going out to station and buying same-day forget about it.

2 days before 50/50 and long queues. There is a booking office in a big mall in centre but no English info and payment is in all the weird Asia-only phone apps..so go agent route in advance its easiest.

 

15,000 kip bus to station 2 or so times a day at main bus station..fruit market or whatever they call it...bus station is wrecked half way through rebuild..number 28 I believe...anyway destination and times are on a concrete pillar next to the bus.

 

2nd choice is bus/minivan to Vang Vieng and you will be able to get train same-day to LP in most cases as a lot of people get off at VV....tuk-tuk to station it is about 5km or less north of the town.

Maybe also try posting your query in the Laos forum (found under 'ASEAN Countries').

 

Good luck.
