Laos
Known since ancient times as Lan Xang (Land of the Million Elephants), Laos offers the modern world a glimpse of old Indochina. Visitors will encounter a country that is less developed than its neighbours China, Thailand and Vietnam, and perhaps more reserved than any other stop in the region. They will also find an intoxicating mix of natural beauty, original Buddhist culture and French influences.
Laos’ lifeline is the Mekong River, which flows the length of the mountainous, landlocked country and provides water for agriculture and is also a major means of transportation. The unassuming capital, Vientiane, sits on its banks, giving travelers a comfortable introduction to Laos’ charms. But most visitors would regard Luang Prabang as the destination’s highlight. They delight in the district’s architectural blend of whitewashed houses and splendid golden temples.
