    Laos Kip - Where to exchange?

    I was wondering if there is any money exchange place in Hong Kong that will exchange Laos Kip (LAK)?

    I recently traveled to Laos and did not realize that this currency is practically worthless in other countries except for a few bordering cities in Thailand. Had I've known, I would have exchanged all unspent Kip before leaving the country. Long story short, I’m now stuck with over 1,000,000 Kip.

    Anyone here planning on going to Laos, or know of anyone, in the near future ?! I don't plan on going back so will trade at a loss if there are any takers.

    Thanks!

    you can exchange it at the Lao's airport. USD is accepted at some places, such as bus stations. I remember some hotels also have exchange services. Donno which cities in Laos you are going. If you are going to the capital and LLP, dont worry. they are very tourism developed.
