Information about Laos

Our Laos information section consists of basic knowledge and tips you need to know when travelling to this Southeast Asian city. The culture here is quite conservative, so dressing appropriately is a must especially if you’re visiting a temple in Laos.

Most major hotels in Laos have English-speaking staff, though Lao and Thai are commonly spoken among the locals. Getting familiar with the basics of Laos will save you lots of time and money, especially when it comes to getting around a certain city.
