ATMs in Luang Prabang?

I%26#39;m going back to LP in February. When there last July there were none (that I know of). Does anyone know if they have installed any since? Beats having to carry a lot of cash . .! Appreciate any comments.



ATMs in Luang Prabang?


Having just returned home from Luang Prabang a ATM is now on Sisavangvong Rd a bit after the Night Market. It accepts mastercard and was cirrus friendly but not VISA

Thanks very much for your advice. Would you know, if obtaining cash with a Cirrus card, is there an option to take it in USD instead of Kip (probably not)?



Thanks again.




Just dispenses kip, and sometimes runs out!





I took US$ and Thb and had no problems.




The ATM there takes debit cards and - apparently - Mastercard but not Visa. The limit per withdrawal is 700 000 kip, which I believe is around 70 USD. The latter can be used at several money exchanges. Our hotel was also happy to change Euro to kip, but beware - perhaps it was just just one guy, but he repeatedly ';mistakenly'; gave us too little!




Does this atm only accept MC/Cirrus or can it do any of the following as well: PLUS, STAR, NYCE, Pulse, The Exchange ?







Thanks




We found that the exchange rates places would give you on Thai bhat in LP were all over the place so we found it better to use US dollars and have kip for smaller purchases.
