How to plan the Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng train
Book from current availability
Select Luang Prabang as the departure and Vang Vieng as the arrival. The live search is the booking source for trains, classes and prices available on the chosen date.
- Search the live timetable for your exact travel date before relying on an older published schedule.
- Compare the available departure times and seat classes, then enter passenger details exactly as shown on the travel document.
- Read the confirmation email carefully for ticket delivery, collection and boarding instructions.
Leave the old town with time to spare
Luang Prabang Railway Station is outside the historic centre. Build the road transfer, security and document checks into your departure plan.
Prepare for the Vang Vieng transfer
The arrival station is also outside town. Keep your accommodation name and address available and use local transport or a pre-arranged pickup for the final leg.
Before you book
Plan both station transfers
Check the departure and arrival stations on your ticket. Include the transfer from your accommodation, security and document checks in your travel plan. Vientiane Railway Station on the Laos–China Railway is different from Khamsavath Railway Station.
Documents, luggage and ticket delivery
Enter passenger details exactly as shown on the travel document and carry that document to the station. Follow the issued ticket and confirmation for boarding or collection instructions. Check current baggage limits and prohibited items before departure; payment alone does not mean the ticket has been issued.
