Two. Matters needing attention in road trip

(1) personnel entry process

China citizens with valid passports, new visas and filled-in entry cards can enter Laos normally after being inspected by the entry-exit administration department of Laos port and stamped with the entry inspection seal.

(3) Precautions:

1. You can apply for a port visa in Mo Ding, Laos with your valid passport, and the cost is about USD 265,438 +0. However, in view of the concentration of entry-exit personnel during the Spring Festival holiday, it is suggested that China tourists can complete their visas at the Lao Consulate General in Kunming and the Consular Office in Jinghong.

2. The management of Laos ports is relatively loose, so tourists from China should consciously go through the entry and exit formalities for relevant personnel and vehicles, and don't stop at any card and don't know how to ask questions, so as not to violate relevant regulations due to negligence.

3. The transportation management department of China will indicate the exit destination and return date on the class B driver's license. Please pay attention to the communication with relevant staff, and don't travel across regions or stay late because of incorrect or missing information.

4. Entry and exit information, cards and toll receipts of all personnel and vehicles (if the other party fails to provide them voluntarily, please ask for them) shall be properly kept for inspection by Lao law enforcement agencies.

5. Passengers planning to go to Thailand for road trip via Laos are advised to go to Thailand via Friendship Bridge 4 in Sun Hui, Laos, and return to Laos from the original port to avoid blocking the entry and exit of vehicles.

6. Laos tourism law enforcement agencies regard more than three vehicles in the same industry as a tour group, and the tour group must hold the guarantee documents of the travel agency. If it is not necessary, tourists should not get together or form their own motorcade.

1. The road conditions in the mountainous areas and suburbs of Laos are poor, with frequent human and animal exchanges. When driving on these roads, China citizens should pay attention to control the speed, observe the road conditions and avoid accidents.

2. The traffic indication system in Laos is not perfect. When China citizens drive through intersections without traffic lights, they should take the initiative to slow down and avoid pedestrians and vehicles.

3. Some roads in Laos towns are one-way, and some forks require straight vehicles to go straight, otherwise they will be fined. Therefore, China citizens who are not familiar with local road conditions should pay attention to traffic signs, drive in a civilized manner and try not to honk their horns.

4. When the vehicle is old, you should stop according to the stop sign. Parking signs in Laos are generally painted on shoulder stones and are divided into three types. Red and white indicate

6. In the face of inspection by the Lao police or relevant departments, China citizens should cooperate and take the initiative to show relevant personnel and vehicle certificates. In case of fines or unreasonable detention of documents, please remain calm and ask the embassy or consulate for help in time. Don't sell yourself short and refuse to cooperate, causing unnecessary losses to yourself.

(2) Personal and property safety

1. China citizens should try their best to choose hotels with good safety conditions when staying in their former residence, and keep their personal valuables properly or leave them with the hotel front desk (ask for documents). Otherwise, if it is lost, the hotel can refuse to bear the relevant responsibilities according to the passenger check-in regulations formulated by Laos tourism department.

2. China citizens should improve their safety awareness in their later years, don't carry a lot of cash and valuables with them, stay away from remote streets, avoid walking alone at night, pay attention to people and vehicles following them, and beware of speeding robbery.

3. In case of robbery, China citizens should try their best to recover their losses on the premise of ensuring their own safety. At the same time, they should pay attention to collecting clues and information and report the case to the local police in time.

4. The insurance industry in Laos is underdeveloped, so China tourists should try to buy travel insurance in China before going abroad. When always carrying out dangerous tourism projects such as hiking, mountaineering and rafting, we must first confirm the safety factor, organize groups as far as possible, and hire local tour guides to accompany us. Listen to the guide's guidance and suggestions, and it is forbidden to act alone or play outside the group.

5. The medical conditions in Laos are limited, and China citizens pay attention to mosquito prevention and carry common medical supplies. If they accidentally get sick and don't get better after taking the medicine, they will be transferred to big hospitals in cities such as Vientiane or returned to China for treatment.

Four. Other matters needing attention.

(a) China citizens should engage in activities consistent with the types of visas when they come to the old age, and engage in activities such as investigation, employment and business without a tourist visa.

(2) The Lao government has completely banned the exploitation and purchase of pyrophyllite, and marked some pyrophyllite producing areas in Azopo province as restricted areas. Visitors from China should not enter Azov Province to buy pyrophyllite, and bring it back to China if necessary.

(3) Recently, some provinces in central and northern Laos have found signs of anti-government armed activities. China citizens should avoid the collapse of Saisong when traveling, and stay away from remote mountain roads when traveling in other provinces and cities.
