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.

I arrived in Luang Prabang about 9 days ago - this is an enchanting city, beautiful and green with interesting little shops, cafes, bookstores, bars and restaurants tucked into every leafy corner. Like Vientiane, there is an obvious French/international ... Read more >

Thankful to be leaving Phonsavan, we headed to the bus station (once again, out of town). Despite being told that the 10.30am bus often doesn't run, it was there waiting and we got tickets to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, an 11 hour journey away. ... Read more >
