I%26#39;m sure it is. We hired an air-con mini-bus for me, my husband and two girls (11 and 8) to go from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng about a year ago. Took about 6 hours and we paid US$80 all up. We had a driver whose English was pretty bad - but he was lovely. he also bought his Dad along for the ride! I%26#39;m sure similar services are available from Vientiane heading north - easy to find...just go to tour-type company.

When you arrived at Vietiene airport we used a taxi to get to the hotel. The cab driver agreed to be %26#39;ours%26#39; for three days and we paid him 2500 Thai baht, which he was very happy with. Sorry that I don%26#39;t have contact number but most taxi drivers will be happy to oblige.
