From what I know the Lao govt will now recognize overseas drivers licence.   

If you are coming to live/work in Laos then it may be better for you to get a Lao licence. An online check will give you up to to date info and perhaps other members of the Lao forum will have information.

Hi, I am Belgian Expat for 8 years in Laos.
My company is using my Belgian driving licence to recieve a temporally Lao driving License (1Year).
But ofcourse if you have a International driving licence than you don't need.
If you go to visit Thailand anyway you need international driving licence in case of accident.

Thanks for the info! Do u know if getting a Lao license is easy? I am guessing I don't need to take any tests, just get it converted? Thanks again!

No need for test, only picture and original license, take a few days

Be careful as there is no such thing as an "international driving licence". It is a permit which is a translation of your own country's licence.
