About Laos
Laos, the art of slow travel
Laos is the quiet heart of Southeast Asia. Its pace is unhurried, its people famously kind, and its landscapes — jungle-covered karsts, wide brown rivers and turquoise pools — still feel wonderfully untouched.
Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage town, is the highlight for most travellers: golden temples, French colonial villas, a lively night market and the dawn alms-giving ceremony when hundreds of monks walk silently through the streets. Nearby, the tiered pools of Kuang Si Falls are perfect for a swim.
Top experiences in Laos
- A slow boat along the Mekong to the Pak Ou caves.
- Hot-air balloon flights and kayaking around Vang Vieng.
- Temples and the Buddha Park in the capital Vientiane.
When to go
The best weather is from October to April, when days are dry and mornings cool. The rainy season (May–September) turns everything a vivid green and the waterfalls at their most powerful.
