Laos: Buying used car:

I don't have personal experience of this, but as far as I know, you can only own a tax-not-paid vehicle if you are employed by an NGO or government dept or recognised foreign entity. Otherwise you have to pay the tax, which is considerable.

Laos: Moving to Laos March 09:

Virtually everyone in Laos has dogs. Lao people may not treat them as pets quite the same way falang do, but they love them nevertheless. They are usually left free to roam the streets and other people's gardens day and night. Motor bikes are common, even push bikes, but they are dangerous until you learn how the Lao ride and drive. No problem for driving cars. You can use an International Permit, your original licence or eventually get a local one. Falang cannot own private vehicles; they have to be registered to a Lao.
