Laos-China train ticket booking app live from 15 March 2023

15 March 2023 will see the launch of the mobile application for online booking of train tickets for the new Lao-China rail link.

The application is available on Google PlayStore & the AppleStore registered in Laos (LCR Ticket). Among the new features, it will now be possible to book rail tickets seven days in advance (prior to the app it was only possible three days in advance) as well as to pay online (UnionPay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay). However, no e-ticketing system is offered for the moment, meaning paper tickets still have to be collected from the ticket office.

Completed in late 2021, the fast train line connecting Laos to China has since become the number one choice of travelers wishing to travel in Northern Laos. Asian Trails’ CEO Laurent recently tested the route on his first visit in three years. You can read his report here: New rail link unlocks the beauty of Laos.
