  • Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide
    Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide Overview of Vientiane Life in Laos' modest capital flows along as languidly as the Mekong River, next to which the city is situated. Visitors will find a sprawling series of villages rather than an inter-connected urban metropolis. Laotian temples and crumbling French colonial buildings give Vientiane much of its personality, while paddy fields still dot the outlying suburbs and even penetrate the city centre in places. Narrow lanes, croissant-selling bakeries and noodle-soup vendors characterise the downtown area. Most places of interest are concentrated in a small area in the commercial district, between the bamboo-and-thatch beer gardens on the riverbank and Talaat Sao (the morning market). The area is easy to explore on foot. Tourists can also visit some fine Wats(temples), such as Wat Si Saket. Key Facts Language: Lao is the official language, but some English and French are spoken. Passport/Visa: Most foreign passengers to Laos can obtain a visa on arrival, provided that: (i) they are arriving at one of the following airports: Vientiane International, Luang Prabang, Pakse, Warray; (ii) they are holding a return/onward ticket and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination; (iii) they have a confirmed hotel reservation in Laos; and (iv) they are in possession of one photograph, size 3 x 4 cm (however, it is always recommened to travel with more than one) (v) their passport contains at least two unused visa pages. These tourist visas are valid for 30 days. Note that a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Laos, if arriving within six days of leaving or transiting through an infected area.

Regardless of the last cholera epidemic in Attapeu province, Lao PDR in the year ῍῕῕῕, the local peoples’ awareness of cholera was remarkably low, as demonstrated by the knowledge survey on diarrheal diseases performed in the province in ῎ῌῌῒ. In the case study material, derived from continuous field observations on malaria among permanent residents in relocated villages in Sanxay district from ῎ῌῌῐ to ῎ῌῌ῔, the infection rate among febrile cases was as high as ῐῑ῏ in the early resettlement period, while it was proved that the rate fell later to ῍ ῕ῌ῍ῐ῏. Judging from the environmental condition of this settlement area, this paper makes clear the persistent threat of malaria. Furthermore, among the villagers, hookworm infection was highly prevalent. However, liver fluke infections were scarce and no ascariasis was found from parasitic stool examination in ῎ῌῌΐ. Water quality analysis of the water sources resulted in remarkably safe water from tube wells from ῎ῌῌ῏ to ῎ῌῌ῔.
