Laos is a landlocked Southeast Asian country known for temple towns, the Mekong River, and a slower pace than many of its neighbors. Travelers often base themselves in Vientiane or Luang Prabang before exploring caves, waterfalls, and quiet countryside. Most visitors from outside ASEAN need an e-visa or visa on arrival for a short stay.
