Vientiane → Buddha Park (Xieng Khuan): key facts

Getting from Vientiane Airport (VTE) to Buddha Park (Xieng Khuan) takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–50 min in heavy traffic) over 34 km via 0119. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals area outside the exit of your terminal (international or domestic), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Buddha Park lies on the bank of the Mekong about 25 km south-east of central Vientiane, a few kilometres past the Friendship Bridge. From Wattay airport the drive is about 34 km: the route crosses the southern part of the city and follows the riverside road towards Thadeua. The trip usually takes 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic.

Xieng Khuan, known as Buddha Park, is a sculpture park created in 1958 by Bunleua Sulilat. More than 200 concrete statues of Buddhist and Hindu figures stand in a riverside meadow, among them a huge reclining Buddha, and a large round structure with a tree on top can be climbed for a view over the park. The site is open daily and is a popular half-day trip from the capital.

Public transport: No public transport runs directly from the airport to Buddha Park; the airport shuttle bus goes only to the Central Bus Station in the city centre.
