Poetically known as the land of a million elephants and probably one of the most enchanting countries in South East Asia. Laos is eye wateringly beautiful and offers visitors a rich embroidery of traditional culture and wondrous scenery. If your desire is to tread a path that is less travelled then this charming country is the holiday destination for you.
You will find genuinely warm and friendly people, fabulous sightseeing, and outstanding local cuisine. This is one of the few places on earth that does not disappoint, Laos is a sleepy laid back country easy to explore yet difficult to leave.
Laos is one of the least populated countries in South East Asia and for many years was hardly visited by travellers. The country today offers a genuinely rewarding holiay experience with its rich mix of traditions and awesome landscape. One of the safest countries in the area, Laos holds many treasures and is closely connected to Thailand in its religion, cuisine and language.
