Favorite thing: The rate is usually :

10,000 KIP to 1 USD


Use this conservative rate as a guide as you do your budgeting. You will normally get more KIP per USD.

KIP is only acceptable in Laos but not elsewhere, not even at Thai Banks. [Tried to change back KIP to Thai Baht at Udon Thani Airport but it was a no no.]

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
