There is absolutely no shortage of sites to see and visit in Laos. Home of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic it is now known as one of the greatest travel destinations in the world. Whether you are interested in swamped jungles or a mountainous excursion Laos has something for you to experience!

Life moves remarkably slow in Laos which is a welcome change from the cities surrounding it which are Thailand  and Vietnam. Due to a lnong running civil war the country was kept low on tourism for a number of years. This region is currently challenged with its infrastructure which makes it less of an attraction to visitors and tourists alike. Each year is bringing a rise in up market accommodation and slowly ridding itself from the present day backpacker hostels. The wildlife and National Parks of this region are astounding to witness and have been a part of Laos gaining its footing once again as a thriving area.

The Capital City of Vientiane is remarkable and is filled with a café culture which is uniquely and distinctively cosmopolitan. The area is also booming with great and historic architecture to experience ranging from Ancient ruins to stupas, to more distinguished colonial buildings. Laos possesses and untouched feel in that it is the most laid back region in the area compared to its surrounding neighbors. The lack of development could have to do with this unique laid back charm. It is widely known that Laos is a communist country, one of the few left in the entire world. It is noteworthy to know that tourists were actually banned from visiting the region all the way up to 1988. This has changed presently as tourists are now able to travel all over the world without barriers. Lao Cuisine is some of the finest that you could experience with dishes that have a distinct French flare as well as tastes from Southeast Asia. This cuisine can be washed down with your favorite Laos beverage and it will be an unforgettable experience.
