Shoulder to shoulder with Thailand and Vietnam, Laos remains an unspoiled natural beauty that most travelers still don’t venture to. Swap the idyllic pristine beach destination, for refreshing turquoise waterfalls, and numerous blue lagoons, or venture down the country looking for the Four Thousand Islands.
Cross the border down the Mekong River, to get to the beautiful city of Luang Prabang, an UNESCO World Heritage Site with indescribable charm where the mornings are silent and painted saffron like the robes of the monks. Be mesmerized by the towering limestone karsts of Vang Vieng from a hot air balloon, explore the lush jungles of Bolaven Plateau, or get your city life fix in Vientiane.
Learn more about the rough history of what is the most heavily bombed country in history, while sharing a drink and tasting local delicacies with some of the most friendly and warm people you will ever come across.
This budget friendly travelers paradise, leaves you with zero reasons not to visit it on your next adventure.
