Taxi price from Luang Prabang airport to Shinta Mani Hotel

Dear all,

I have been quoted 22 US $for transfer from LP airport to Shinta Mani hotel located in Phou Meo,Thai Lao Friendship Road,Luang Prabang.

I know this is outside center op LP but is the price too high?

Any idea how much would cost to get this hotel if I arrange taxi ride myself in the airport? Arrival after 6pm.

Thanks for the help!

$7US is the standard price for transfer by A/C minivan from Airport to anywhere in LP. Walk outside terminal and transfer desk on your right If you want to walk ovet to the gate which is to your right you might get aTuk Tuk for $6. What yiou have been quoted is ridiculous.

We paid 50,000kip ($6 something) from Luang Prabang Airport to our hotel in the centre of town. Dead easy, taxi counter is, as bigfish says, right outside the door, can't miss it. Taxi's will be available whenever a flight arrives regardless of the time.

Enjoy Luang Prabang

Hi,

I think 50,000 kip is the standard price these days from the airport, so a lot cheaper than the price you've been quoted

cheers
