Things to do in Laos
Laos is the kind of place that wins you over quietly with misty mountains, glittering temples, and a pace of life that makes you want to slow down.
Start the day at sunrise, joining locals in the sacred alms‑giving ritual, then savor breakfast by a waterfall so blue it looks unreal. Not an early bird? Drift down the Mekong at sunset or try your hand at pétanque just be ready, the locals play to win.
Adventure calls on the Nam Ou River, where limestone cliffs, hidden caves, and remote hill tribes feel worlds away. Down south, the ancient temple ruins of UNESCO‑listed Wat Phou rise from the jungle, while the 4,000 Islands region offers cycling, cruising, and lazy riverside strolls. For something unforgettable, the Nam Nern Night Safari takes you into the wild to spot rare creatures under a sky full of stars.
Laos doesn’t just give you memories – it changes the way you see the world.
