Laos is the only country in Southeast Asia without a beach, but it has a lot to offer: Nature, landscapes and the friendliness of the Laotians. Anyway, for me Laos is one of the most beautiful countries in the region! Here in the blog you will find tips and inspiration for a round trip through Laos.
Vang Vieng was known for being one of the hotspots of the backpacker party crowd. But there's much more to this wonderful little town in the middle of Laos!
A 30-minute tuk-tuk ride from Luang Prabang and you will see: the Kuang Si waterfalls. Embedded in a tropical forest, this place will leave you speechless.
Even when you are on vacation, you sometimes have to push yourself to do things you'd never do willingly. Like getting up at 5am. Well, traveling can be hard work sometimes, too. But when in Luang Prabang you have to get up early to see the monks' daily ceremony of receiving alms. I don't know what was more fascinating, the procession itself or the fact, that it turned out to be a very touristy event - which was kind of irritating.
Luang Prabang seems as if from another world. Time stands still in the spiritual center of Laos - and yet there is so much to discover: Pictures of a breathtaking spot in Asia!
