The section of the Highway 13 that extend Viantiane to the south as far as Don Khong is in very good condition. The biggest hazard in Laos roads was the livestock that roams the roads or even just rest on it regardless.
The human traffic was clam and relaxed. But we did not feel that any one on the road had a driver’s license or at least had the knowledge of the Highway Code. We would approach a junction or a roundabout and the flow of the traffic will just stop as no one seems to know which party has the priority. But we are not complaining!
