Destination: Laos
There are [296] stories and [4833] photos from Laos
Yes! It's still possible to find the 'real' Asia... the one before plastic consumerism, rampant economic growth and western food on every street corner. The charming and gentle country of Laos wraps itself around the meandering mighty Mekong as it makes it's way south from China to Cambodia. Along it's course, you'll find stunning mountain vistas, villages that have taken a step back in time, great eco-tourism adventures and of course, the very tasty, abundant and affordable BeerLao. Be sure to say a cheery 'Sabaidee!' to the happiest people in South East Asia.
