The final frontier in Southeast Asia - Laos

Welcome to Laos, the country of elephants, wonderful landscapes and friendly people - Southeast Asia's final frontier!

The mighty Mekong in the west and the Truong Son range Mountains in the east offer natural borders to Thailand and Vietnam respectively, while Laos also shares borders with China in the north, Myanmar in the northwest and Cambodia in the south.

With over half of this land locked country's 236,800sq. km densely forested, and 70% mountainous, it's hardly surprising that a profusion of rare flora and over 1,200 species of wildlife finds a home beneath its tropical canopy.

With stunning nature, a rich heritage and friendly people, Laos really is an undiscovered gem in Southeast Asia.

Upon entering Vientiane, you will be surprised at the relaxed atmosphere and small-town charm of this capital city. This capital city is characterized by an eclectic mix of colonial-French buildings, ancient temples and colorful markets.

Nestled in the valleys of the mountainous north is Luang Prabang, a former royal capital and now a World Heritage Site listed by UNESCO. This enchanting city, dominated by golden-roofed temples and bright saffron-robed monks, exudes a spiritual essence that will surely capture your soul.
