In detail
Top-up from abroad
Yes. Third-party international top-up services let you recharge a Unitel number from outside Laos by phone number, no local bank card needed. This doesn't apply to fixed, non-rechargeable tourist eSIM data packages.
App blocked
No. WhatsApp, Telegram and similar messaging apps work normally on Lao mobile networks, with no blocking or throttling.
VPN legal status
There's no specific law banning VPN use in Laos, and ordinary use is generally tolerated. Authorities do hold broad powers over telecom and online content generally, so this isn't a blanket legal guarantee.
