The price changes depending on the time of day and day of week. You will get a receipt. Bicycles can be carried on buses in the cargo compartment. If you don't already have a Laos visa in your passport, the bus will not wait for you at the Laos immigration point. You will have to take the local green bus 14 near the immigration gates or a tuk tuk
