Phone data on the Laos trail
In Laos the plan uses the Lao Telecom network. In Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng the connection usually works well for maps and messages. The country is mountainous and thinly populated, so in the northern mountains, along the rivers and on the Mekong islands coverage varies and in places disappears altogether. Download an offline map if you head out hiking or through remote villages.
Wifi in hotels and cafes is generally enough in towns, but speed varies. Hosts and guides can often be reached on WhatsApp, so data is practical. People in Laos travel a lot by bus, minibus and boat, so save bookings, addresses and ticket confirmations on your phone before the trip.
A local SIM can be bought at the airport and in shops, and it needs your passport for registration. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays with you, and calls run over data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan.
