In Vientiane, the capital of Laos, many people use tuk-tuks as a means of transportation within the city.
Since tuk-tuk vehicles (including three-wheeled jumbo) do not use meters, the fare must be negotiated with the driver.
Although it is a price list, it is not a legal requirement and is for reference only. especially,In this table, the minimum price is set at 50,000 kip, but you can of course get cheaper prices on excursions such as Talat Sao and Patuxai.However, other destinations are often cheaper than this, depending on negotiations.

In short, I think it’s important to check the price guide ahead of time and be careful not to overpay.
10,000 keep is about 130 yen in Japanese yen. It can be seen from here that the tuk-tuk fare in Vientiane is still quite expensive. If you stay in the city for several days and take tuk-tuk several times a day, the transportation expenses alone will add up to thousands of yen very quickly.
So, depending on your destination, I think it’s a smart way to use fixed route buses, rental bikes, rental bikes, etc. Major tourist destinations such as That Luang and Buddha Park, as well as the airport and Southern Bus Terminal can also be reached by regular buses departing and arriving from Talat Sao Bus Terminal (CBS).
