In Dien Bien Phu bought the bus ticket to Muong Khuan, Laos for
88,000vnd leaving at 530am. Also me and 2 French guys from the sapa
bus split a hotel room which was only 120,000 so 40,000 each. Dien
Bien Phu doesn't have ANY tourist services and changing dong into
either Kip or USD is very difficult but doable.
Going to Laos: the bus was suppose to leave at 530 but we didn't leave
until after 620 cause we were waiting for some bags of grain I think.
We also stopped to pick up an old engine. The bus was old and
terrible. It took about an hour and a half to get to the boarder which
is only 36km. Checked out of Vietnam then got back on the bus to drive
to Laos. At the Laos checkpoint the visa costs $35usd. Make sure you
have a passport photo, if you don't then you pay an extra $2usd. There
are also signs "service fee -$1usd", "stamp fee - 3000 Kip", "check
for H1N1 fee - 2000 Kip". The total price was $36usd plus 5000kip.
