Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

The primary and most convenient option is the official pre-paid airport taxi service. A counter is located in the arrivals hall where you purchase a fixed-price voucher for a private car or a spot in a shared minivan. This system eliminates haggling and provides a straightforward transfer to the city center.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including international brands like Avis and local providers, have desks within the arrivals terminal. Renting a car is a viable option for those wishing to explore the surrounding countryside at their own pace. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended and often required.

Public Transportation

There is no public bus or train service directly connecting the airport to Luang Phabang's city center. The main forms of transport are the pre-paid taxis and rental cars. Tuk-tuks are generally not permitted to pick up passengers directly at the arrivals terminal.
