Getting around Xieng Khouang

 

Tuk tuks and sawng taews (Pickup trucks with benches) are available for sightseeing around Phonsavanh. You can book them at the bus station for the day to go on self-tours to close-by jar sites and attractions. Prices are negotiable. Local tour agents organize day tours to nearby jar sites and attractions. You can also hire bicycles or motorbikes at tour agents in Phonsavanh Town.

Local busses and sawng taews travel between districts, but not on a fixed schedule. You can book a sawng taew or tuk tuk for a day tour to other districts. It’s best to make arrangements the day before or very early in the morning. Fares are negotiable, so shop around for a good price.
