FAQ
Can you withdraw cash for free in Vientiane?
It's difficult. Within 2 km of the centre of Vientiane we don't know of any ATM that is reliably free. Check the screen at the ATM.
Should I pay in LAK or in my home currency?
If the ATM offers to charge you in your home currency, always choose LAK (without conversion). The ATM's own conversion often costs 5–10%.
How do I avoid ATM fees in Vientiane?
Avoid mainly: Bank ATM (LAK 20,000–75,000), BCEL (LAK 20,000–30,000). Use the ATMs marked as free above and on the map. Withdraw a larger amount once rather than small amounts several times, and check before your trip what your own bank charges for foreign withdrawals.
