A thrilling glimpse of the old Indochina is offered by a visit to Laos. The country, historically called Lan Xang, offers unspoilt beauty and a charming welcome.
Visitors will discover an intoxicating mix of Buddhism and Gallic influences and a shy hospitality. But although Laos is not as modern as China or Thailand and its people more reserved, it still offers endless opportunities of discovery.
With Cambodia among its direct neighbours, the rugged and mountainous country is located in the centre of South Eastern Asia. Running right through the country is the talismanic Mekong River, a crucial supplier of water for agriculture and a pivotal method of transport.
The capital Vientiane sits regally on the banks of the Mekong and offers a charming sample of Laos’ charm. Among the most tempting attractions is the ex-royal kingdom of Luang Prabang, with its gleaming temples and picture-postcard whitewashed houses.
Laos has grown out of a chequered past amid a barrage of French colonisation, domestic disputes and Communism. These problems forced the majority of the people to flee in the Seventies and the country became cut off from the rest of the world.
But the nation has slowly recovered and facilities for travellers and tourists are slowly being introduced, so visitors can experience a peek at the traditional Laos lifestyle.
