Laos is one of the most underdeveloped countries in South East Asia and offers a real contrast to its neighbours. Discover the capital Vientiane and look across the Mekong to Thailand. Catch a boat down the Mekong to the South, an area of Laos rarely visited, ride elephants and stay on the islands of the river. Finally experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang and treat yourself to some of the best cuisine in Laos while watching the sunset over the Mekong River, the perfect end to any trip.
