No international support? In 2023?

Lack of international phone number support is really unfortunate.

为什么限制删除乘车人

乘车人列表仅允许添加10人(含自己),且添加后90天内不能移除,这是什么神仙操作,没有几十年脑血栓怎么能想出这样的奇葩规定,能给零🌟绝对给个零0⃣️

Can not delete passenger list

ລາຍຊື້ເພີ່ມໄດ້ພຽງແຕ່ 10 ຄົນ ແລະ ບໍ່ສາມສດລືບໄດ້ ຫລັງຈາກ 90 ວັນ ປານຜີບ້າເນາະ
Passengers list could add up to 10 people after that can not delete any one out until 90 days…. Why ?

Foreigners can buy on the app now

Downloaded the app with little hope but was pleasantly surprised as it’s worked well. There are a few minor issues and quirks but once you get the hang of it all good.

1. You can only book 3 days in advance (sales start at 6.30am on the app)

2. You need a Laos telephone number to get the authentication code and ticket confirmations (only one person in a group of upto 5 needs this as you can add other passengers onto your profile)

3. Only Visa card for foreign transactions is accepted with a quirk. 3D secure is not accepted. Most cars now in Europe have two factor authentication when spending online with a new company. If you have a card that has this from the start it just won’t work. Try using different cards. I used Revolut (first transaction the didn’t ask for tow factor authentication and it worked)

4. Scan QR code on the app to get into the train station and while on the train.

Not that tickets get sold out super quickly. Make sure to book in the morning 3 days in advance to secure tickets for the train you want.

Trains are super nice, clean and second class is more than fine for most people.

Useless for foreigners without Lao phone number

I hope they will make this easier for foreigners to use in the near future. I love Lao PDR but unfortunately cannot use this app for my upcoming trip due to having a foreign (non-Lao) phone number, and will have to find another way to get tickets for the train.

Good

As long as you have Visa card for payment and a Laos number it will work well.

Terrible experience without Laos telephone number

You use this app to sell tickets, but only Laos telephone number can register. Who can tell me how can a foreign tourist buy a ticket?
The only positive point of this app is the user interfaces, compare to some relatively same app developed by CARA, this app looks okay.
And that’s all, because I cannot register, neither can I buy tickets!!!

Only support Laos telephone number

Foreigners can’t sign up.

Works well for the domestic users

As a newly launched beta version, this app certainly has much room to improve. But as a demanding person, I am glad at least now I I can use it and from it I can see an easier way of international traveling is coming. This is a just a start, in my children’s generation, this will make travel between Laos and its neighbor countries easier.

Make it easier for foreigners

You have 3-4 million tourists a year and yet you don’t make it easy to buy tickets. You assume everyone will have a Lao phone number to verify but that’s not the case. Why do you even need to verify? If the passport don’t match when checked then it’s not verified. And please correct the default date to current date instead of several days back.
