Reasons To
Visit Laos

  • Lao monks

    The Baci ceremony in Laos is an important blessing in Buddhist culture and is used to celebrate any landmark event. A traditional ceremony hosted by a Lao monk will make your trip even more memorable.

  • Local food & drink

    From tasting Laos`s national fiery dish of laap to tasting a fine Lao coffee on the Bolaven`s Plateau or even accepting an invite to drink the potent Lao Lao, a strange rice wine blend that will knock your socks off!

  • Night markets

    Test your bartering skills at Luang Prabang's daily market, a fantastic place to pick up some great authentic Asian souvenirs.

  • Sunset over the Mekong

    There are few things in Southeast Asia that can beat a beer Lao as the sunsets over the Mekong - from the riverbanks in Luang Prabang to the 4000 islands, watching the world go by at sunset is a must.

  • The North

    The northern part of Laos is a remote region that sees few tourists. Heading north from the Thai border towards China, the town of Luang Nam Tha is the gateway to the Nam Ha National Park, with countless opportunities to explore on foot, by kayak and on mountain bikes. A little further south you will stumble upon the picturesque area of Muang La and the dramatic valley of Nong Khiaw before arriving by road or boat at the cultural centre of Luang Prabang.

La Folie

Champasak Province

Newly opened in August 2007 this is a wonderful and welcome new addition to the simple lodges available in Southern Laos. The 24 room lodge is located on the tranquil island of Dong Daeng, a mere 35 km from Pakse airport and the famous archaeological site of Wat Phou is just a twenty minute boat ride across the river to Champasak.

Each simple but comfortably appointed room is housed within a bungalow and affords magnificent views across the Mekong towards the ruins of Wat Phou.

The lodge offers a refreshing swimming pool (one of the few properties to do so in the south) and also has bikes available to explore the traditional riverside life of the island.
