When comparing the costs involved in these routes, sea transport is as
expected the cheapest per cost/km, rail is intermediate and road transport is the
most expensive (see Table VII). It is also worth noting that the various other
charges are still a burden to the competitiveness of Laotian exports. On certain
routes, such as via Bangkok, transit and local charges represent up to 10
percent of the total transport cost, with ``tea money’’ representing 2 percent. The
figure might not be very high, but this 2 percent does represent a loss in terms
of the Laotian trade competitiveness.
