ATM Machines in Laos

May 26th, 2006

We have been asked by one of our guests who were on her way to Luang Prabang. This is the reply:

ATM machines are available in Laos. The ones in Vientiane - you can choose to withdraw the cash in Kip, Thai Baht or US dollar BUT in Luang Prabang - you can only withdraw the cash in Kip ONLY! For your information - the ATM machine in Luang Prabang is at BCEL Bank, Luang Prabang Branch (which is in the city center).

In fact - we also say it is best for all travelers to carry cash, travelers’ cheques or credit cards when traveling to the countries like Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. Getting your cash from the ATM machines in these countries, in most places, will cause some extra charges to each transaction you make so might not worth it!
