Vientiane → Vang Vieng: key facts

Vang Vieng from Vientiane Airport (VTE) by private transfer: €85 per car (1–3 people) or €120 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 118 km via AH12, roughly 1h 45min when traffic is light and 1h 45min – 2h 10min when it is not.

Meeting point: 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. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Vang Vieng lies about 120 km north of Wattay airport. The fastest road is the Vientiane to Vang Vieng Expressway, a 109 km toll road opened in December 2020 that cut the journey from about four hours on the old Route 13 North to about one and a half hours. The drive leaves the city northwards, crosses the plain of Vientiane province and climbs into the limestone hills around the Nam Song valley.

Vang Vieng is a small town on the Nam Song river, surrounded by steep karst mountains, rice fields and caves. Visitors come for tubing and kayaking on the river, the blue lagoons and caves west of the town such as Tham Phu Kham, hot air balloon flights and hikes to viewpoints like Nam Xay. Guesthouses, hotels and riverside restaurants line the main streets and the river bank.

Public transport: No public transport runs directly from the airport to Vang Vieng; buses and trains to Vang Vieng leave from the bus terminals and from Vientiane railway station on the other side of the city.
