By the road

There are the following options:

  • There are the following options:
    We can provide a private transfer (depending on availability). You can contact us to have the price.
    You can find a songthaew (pick-up truck with two large benches at the back) which is a shared transport and leaves when it’s full.
  • The last option is to take a private tuk-tuk, however, this can be a more uncomfortable ride.
    The cost will depend on what you negotiate with the driver.

Take the night bus from Vientiane’s southern station (DONG DOK) and you arrive in Pakse around 07:00 am (the next morning). The night bus is comfortable (make sure you get an overnight bus). In some buses, you share your bed. If you don’t want to be close to a stranger, book two seats!
