Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos, officially known as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is cherished worldwide for its rich history, diverse culture, and enchanting natural beauty. This landlocked country is tucked between China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar, and is renowned for its mountainous terrain, scenic river valleys, and abundant lush forests.

Truly, Laos remains a captivating destination for those seeking cultural immersion and outdoor adventures.

Laos

Laos is super cheap and a great contrast from the boom boom party in Thailand. Has the greater authentic feel out of all the countries in mainland SE Asia. I felt very safe as a female solo traveller. Male sure to go to Don det and try one of the bike loops down south (thakek or pakse)
