(Baonghean.vn) - A retired long-distance bus driver said that, just go to Nghi Kim land (Vinh city), the railway overpass section, you will see all kinds of buses and trucks with Lao license plates but the owners and drivers are from Nghe An. If you want to see the "capital" of Lao license plates, take a tour from Dien Ky, Dien Hong then go up Loi bridge to Do Thanh, to Dien Thap, to Dien Xuan intersection and it will be clear...
 |
| The long-distance driver's "guess" was "correct". Passing the Nghi Kim railway overpass and turning onto the old National Highway 1A, one could see a multitude of large trucks and passenger vans with Laotian license plates lying on both sides of the road. |
 |
| In the "forest" of buses at this "private station", there are quite a few buses owned by different Vietnamese owners; but the most numerous is Tuan Viet. Locals here say that on odd days, this area is full of buses waiting for goods and passengers. There are buses to go to Pakse, Xieng Khouang, Vientiane... "If you go to Vientiane, you should take Tuan Viet bus" - a local advised. |
 |
| Going back to Dien Chau to find the "capital" of Lao vehicles, along National Highway 1A (section of Dien Ky and Dien Hong communes), every few hundred meters or one kilometer you can see Lao-licensed passenger vans circling around to pick up passengers and goods. (In the photo is a Lao-licensed passenger van running at the end of Dien Ky commune). |
 |
| In Do Thanh and Dien Thap, there are a lot of Lao license plate cars, and all kinds. |
 |
| This is a truck with Lao license plates. |
 |
| And here is a passenger van with Lao license plate. |
 |
| On the main axis of Do Thanh - Dien Thap - Dien Xuan commune, there are many passenger transport centers with advertising signs (In the photo is a transport agency going to Vientiane, Phun Hong, Vang Vieng in Dien Thap commune). |
 |
| And here is the passenger transport agency, very specific information on the schedule "Depart on even days, return on odd days" |
 |
| Laotian license plate passenger vans are all of a "straw" quality but are advertised as high quality. For example, this UN 0301 van is labeled as "High-class sleeper van". |
 |
| Or this UN 0514 is advertised as a VIP car. |
 |
| The schedule of passenger transport buses from Vietnam to Laos departs exactly at 24:00, so every odd-numbered day of the lunar calendar, the buses pick up passengers and goods. In the photo: On the afternoon of June 11, 2016, passenger buses with Lao license plates still operate openly on the routes. |
