Laos Tourist Information
Laos is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, and as a landlocked country with a handful of famous attractions, it is often overlooked. Travelers who do come to this country come for the laid back atmosphere, and beautiful landscape with striking sunsets and welcoming people. Throughout the country you'll find colonial French towns and beautiful Buddhist stupas, so while it may be less popular, when you look at the subtleties, Laos has plenty to offer.

Popular experiences include a visit to the golden Phra That Luang temple and Wat Si Saket, the site of 2,000 Buddha statues. Enjoy the growing industry of ecotourism or take a longtail boat ride down the Mekong River. Tubing is one of the most popular activities in Laos.

Travel Tips for Laos

Mellow Out in Laos

By backpackguru (Our Global Journey) on Nov 28, 2011
If you've been moving swiftly through Southeast Asia, giving each location a couple of days, then Laos is a great place to slow your pace and soak up some of the atmosphere. Laos is more about the atmosphere than it is about checking sights off a list, so spend some time in the less touristy Southeast Asian country and mellow out a little bit. You'll find other travelers here for sure, but Laos is more about soaking up the local culture. Don't swiftly pass through here because you'll only regret it in the long run.
