Parcel delivery to Laos

A mountainous country, agriculture employs around 85% of the population and whilst it covers a large area, the sparse population of 6.8 million is small comparative to the 91,500 square miles of the country. Vientiane, on the banks of the Mekong River, is the capital of Laos and with nearly 200,000 inhabitants it is also the largest city. Other notable cities include Pakse, Savannakhet, Luang Prabang, Xam Neua, Phonsavan, Thakhek and Muang Xay. If you are sending a parcel to Laos then be sure to remember the 5-digit postcode. The first two numbers correspond with the province, and the other 3 are for the delivery office. The province of Vientiane, for example, is 01 followed by three digits, with Xaysetha being 01160. With geography effecting transport, there are no navigable waterways, ports or railways and delivery services in Laos rely on the extensive highways of more than 21,000 kilometres to get to the various corners of the country.
