Where can I exchange money in Laos, the best tourist month in Laos?

In fact, there are very few tourists visiting Laos now. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the best time to travel to Laos, as well as visas and currency exchange in Laos. You can visit Laos in advance.

Best travel time

Laos has a tropical and subtropical monsoon climate, so the whole year is divided into dry season and rainy season. The average annual temperature is about 26. May-October is the rainy season and November-April is the dry season. So the best season to play is from November to March, with cool climate and convenient transportation.

time: Laos time is one hour later than China time.

visa entry and exit

China passport can apply for a tourist visa for 3 days, which can be extended for another 15 days.

materials: original passport, 2 passport photos, and copies of the front and back of the ID card.

visa fee: three working days from 13 yuan and the next day from 26 yuan. You can also choose to do it through travel agencies or travel websites, and the signing is also very fast.

visa on arrival: China passport holders can obtain a 15-day visa on arrival at Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse International Airport and some land ports by paying 2 dollars and two photos, which can be renewed in Laos. However, it is possible that marchers without visas in China Customs will not be released, so it is suggested to apply for visas in China.

Currency and exchange

The currency used in Laos is kip, and the US dollar can still be used in Laos. Because there are many zeros on the bill, and there is little difference, you should be careful when snorkeling. It is recommended to separate different denominations. In Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Siqian Island and other popular cities, there are money exchange offices, hotels, restaurants and shops that can provide exchange services such as US dollars, Thai baht, British pounds and Japanese yen.

At present, the ATMs of BCEL Bank are all marked with "UnionPay", which can be used to withdraw cash or directly.
