They probably sell some things, but customers don't go inside the petrol/gas service station. Staff are on standby to fill up for customers and collect payments on the spot, so it's usually a quick entry and exit.

Gas station and mini market is a good business idea in Laos.

Not that I'm aware of. A few of the bigger gas stations maybe accept credit card payments.

This is a dumbfonded question but I thought Laos is warm - hot all year round but I see many pictures with people wearing a jacket, just like the dude with the motorbike.  The weather does get cool/cold in the winter season?

Last time I was there it was freezing at night. Granted, I was in the back of a tuk-tuk. But still, long sleeve tshirt and jeans, and I was shivering.

It does get cold in winter in Laos. But mostly hot and humid.

They don't pack their goods inside their house at the end of the day.

They just make sure their shop is locked up properly. Some people sleep near their shop.


YES THEY DO PACKUP AT THE END OF THE DAY!

My estimation is $400,000USD/per station (everything included with mini-market inside).

I'm not sure, but I think you can smaller gas station for cheaper or under $200,000 or way less. One thing about gas station people like to rob them. In the U.S it's one of th most dangerous jobs.

Sorry.  My question was where does Vientaine get gasoline from? I am sure we do not have refineries in Laos.

Petrol / gasoline in Vientiane is imported from Thailand.

Laos also imports from Vietnam.
