I live in Laos - have land and am building a house. I like it a hell of a lot better than Thailand where I lived last year. It is not as cheap as you might think, though alcohol, especially wine, is a lot cheaper than Thailand. Many of the roads in Vientiane are being resurfaced at the moment, and the traffic here has increased markedly increased as the country is slowly getting wealthier.
It is easy to get a visa on arrival. Kip, Baht and US dollars are the accepted currencies.
In contrast to the silly comment posted above, I would not give Vientiane a miss. There is lots to do and the Western food here is FAR better than in Phuket, (due to the French influence.)
PM me if you want more information.
