Feel free to copy and download any or all of the schedules on this web page but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the info.

The railway company's Facebook page has info on how many tickets remain available for sale as well as other railway news HERE . Almost all info on their Facebook page is only in Lao language while Facebook translations are poor and incomplete. Using Google Chrome browser allows better and quicker translations to English.

Lao China Railway does not have an active website page in English for the project, just Facebook in Lao and Chinese.
