Regarding money changer, there is still a good one near the Talat Sao Shopping Complex along Lane Xang Ave offering attractive exchange rate for Singapore dollars.

Also, ST/LT are generally available at about 300k/600k kips at the chicken farms in Sithong Road and Impeng areas, ...........

Thanks,
After trying many money changers at riverside and in Sanjiang (chinatown), who dont accept Spore dollars, at last I did found, by chance, this money changer, not very far from riverside, who accept Spore dollars and the exchange rate was sg$1 = 11,000 kips (good rate). The google map coordinates of this place is 17.965193, 102.605928 , next to Mixok Inn.






I also did visit ST Vegas casino resort at the border of Laos and Thailand (NongKhai). We took Loca and the taxi fare from Sanjiang to Nongkhai border was 380,000 kips 1 way (expensive but its ok). Later I discovered that some travel agencies charge only sg20 from riverside to nongkhai border.
There are many thais gambling here. To get free room, the rolling required is the equivalent of sg4000 (very expensive).

When leaving vientiane, at the airport counter, I saw this free shuttle service from the Nongkhai border and the airport, to Dansavanh Nam Ngum Resort but not sure if its still valid.
