Tips for Train Travel

Greetings and Courtesy

The traditional greeting is the 'Nope', similar to the Thai wai, placing the palms of the hands together at chest level and slightly bowing the head. It is a sign of respect. The head is sacred, so never touch someone's head. Feet are impure, do not point them at religious people or images.

Visa and Currency

Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at major entry points. The local currency is the Lao Kip (LAK). It is advisable to bring some cash, since although there are ATMs in the cities, they can be scarce in rural areas. The US dollar and Thai baht are sometimes accepted in tourist areas.

Respect in Sacred Places

When visiting temples ('wats'), dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees. Always take off your shoes before entering. If you wish to participate in or photograph the Tak Bat ceremony, do so respectfully, without interrupting the monks or using flash.
