National Tourism Authority of Laos
(NATL) operates offices in a few places, including Vientiane, but staff are generally untrained and speak little English. Two privately owned companies, Sodetour and Diethelm, can provide reliable information. Word-of-mouth information from other travellers is often the best source, as conditions in Laos change with astonishing rapidity.
