从柬埔寨暹粒坐大巴陆路入境老挝四千美岛真实记录｜独自旅行第26天 Cambodia to Laos
早上八点出发的大巴车，一路向东到柬埔寨上丁口岸，一直担心出入境会被收小费，在老挝边境检查点默默交上护照夹着的崭新20美元和照片，顺利入境！
只是在边境处由于到陌生国家的焦虑，以2800的汇率换了一些老挝币，买了一张7天流量卡（忘了几美元，反正买的也不划算，图个心安）
结束七八个小时的车程终于在下午搭上了湄公河的小船，这一路有点混乱，有点辛苦，但正是旅行最真实、最鲜活的样子！

Luang Namtha to Become New Regional Transport Hub
Luang Namtha to Become New Regional Transport Hub
Laos’s northern province of Luang Namtha is poised to become a regional transport hub with investment in a dry port, leveraging its strategic location.
The province is expected to serve as a prime site for an international trade center for the country after the construction of a 414-km railway from China into Laos at the Boten border checkpoint is complete.
The USD 5.986 billion construction project, which began in 2015, is set for completion at the end of 2021.
The railway is part of the Kunming-Singapore Railway project, which connects Kunming with Singapore, passing through Laos, Thailand and Malaysia, Bounsong Keomanivong.
Luang Namtha would be part of the east-west economic corridor that runs from Myanmar to Vietnam and between Thailand and Vietnam, shortening travel time to just a few hours, said Bounsong Keomanivong, President of the Luang Namtha Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as quoted by Vientiane Times.
“This will be suitable for investment to provide services for travelers from these countries,” he said.
In 2019, more than 743,000 people visited the province via Boten across the Lao-Chinese border while its economy grew by 8.8 percent, with its GDP per capita income reaching about USD 1,700.

Tougher Screening Procedures on Visitors from S Korea, China
Laos Imposes Tougher Screening Procedures on Visitors from S Korea, China
Laos has toughened its screening procedures for foreigners who wish to enter the country after visiting South Korea and China, citing coronavirus concerns.
All foreign nationals who have visited either China or South Korea in the past 14 days before entering Laos will be subject to tougher screening processes, according to South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Visitors entering Laos from China or South Korea must fill in a health declaration form when entering Laos, while those who show symptoms of the virus such as fever will need to pass a close examination up to three times, the ministry said, without providing further details.
The South Korean ministry confirmed that such measures became effective from February 28.
Laos is the latest to join the list of countries that impose restrictions on visitors from South Korea.
More than 80 countries are imposing entry restrictions and tougher quarantine procedures for travelers from South Korea over renewed coronavirus concerns. Among them, a total of 37 countries are barring the entry of South Koreans and foreigners who have visited South Korea in the past few weeks.
The news comes after the Lao health authorities told travel agents in the country last week to suspend package tours to areas where the new coronavirus has been reported, especially South Korea.
Lao Airlines also decided to halt its flights to South Korea from March amid massive cancellations from passengers over coronavirus concerns.
Three South Korean budget airlines, namely T’way Air, Air Busan, and Jin Air, halted their flights between Laos and South Korea until end of March, also citing concerns over the virus.
South Korea reported 476 new cases of the coronavirus on March 2, bringing the total number of infections to 4,212. So far, 22 people have died there due to the virus.
