About this experience

Booking train tickets here can be difficult—often unavailable and time-consuming—as the train stations are far from the city center.

With us, you’ll receive a train e-ticket—simple, paperless, and easy to check in at the station. Plus, you’ll enjoy a promo code discount for other services such as private transfers, Laos tour experiences, pottery making, candle making, Lao cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, and more.

Your trip will be designed just for you—saving time, money, and avoiding the stress of unexpected travel problems.

This special offer is available for travelers who book quickly this week and month. Contact us today so you don’t miss out!
