If you'd like to learn a bit about the local beliefs, organise a visit to some temples, shrines and monasteries. Even if it doesn't spark a spiritual awakening, it's likely that you'll find a little inner calm.
There is no better way to understand a place than to literally take a big bite out of it! You're invited to explore the culture, history and personality of Laos by trying some of its finest food and drink.
Are you curious about the surprises that'll be served up on your plate? There's a chance they'll include cellophane noodles (made from mung bean starch), asian basil or maybe even both.
Don't pass up the opportunity to order a plate of khao jee (baguettes) or laab moo (minced pork salad). These much-loved dishes are highly recommended by the locals.
You're not supposed to count calories on holiday, right? So it's an excellent excuse to satisfy your sugar cravings with some fresh fruit, a popular dessert.
Planning to be here on the 2nd of December? You're in luck. On this date, the nation joins together for Republic Day.
Having difficulty bidding farewell? Don't worry. This charming region will always be here awaiting your return.
