  • Sabaidee Welcome to Laos!
    LAOS DESTINATION INFORMATION SABAIDEE WELCOME TO LAOS! Laos, officially known as Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), is an incredible destination rich in history, traditions, diverse landscapes and cultures, Laos captivates the inner explorer, urging them to journey further and deeper into the ‘unknown’.

  • SOUTHERN LAOS D T L Y 265 T P S N O I T a C I L B U P T E N a Attapeu L Nam Tok Katamtok P Y L E N O L
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 265 Southern Laos An enticing blend of archetypal Mekong River life, ancient Khmer temples, the cooler climes of the Bolaven Plateau and three remote and little-visited eastern provinces make southern Laos a region of stark contrasts for the adventurous traveller. The whole area remains refresh- ingly raw, but as with other parts of Laos a series of community-based tourism projects have made it possible to experience an authentic Laos far from the beaten track. The obvious, almost unavoidable staging point is Pakse, the Mekong riverside capital of Champasak Province with a relaxed ambience for a ‘city’. From here the Mekong flows south past the ancient Khmer religious complex at Wat Phu Champasak and Don Daeng, before expanding its girth at Si Phan Don, the ‘four thousand islands’ that straddle the Cambodian border. Among this stunningly beautiful maze of waterways are the palm-lined Don Khong, Don Det and Don Khon, where you can soak up the million-dollar sunsets from your hammock. Heading east from Pakse you climb to the cooler climes of the Bolaven Plateau, with its picturesque waterfalls and high-grade coffee. Keep going and you start getting well off the beaten track and into the little visited provinces of Salavan, Sekong and Attapeu where minority ethnic groups are still surprised to see falang visitors. The adventurous at heart can tackle the southern swing motorbike loop. So whether you’re seeking an off- beat experience or are happy just lazing in a riverside hammock, prepare to stay longer in southern Laos than planned.
