Why Laos?
When you go to Laos, it feels like no other place Asia, it’s like the country that time forgot. Laos PDR is often translated as Lao people don’t rush and they don’t. Their way of life is based of years of culture and tradition and as animists they have a big respect for nature so the sense of being surrounded by jungle is eminent. The moment you get off the plane you’ll be hit with fresh air and the sounds of nature, serene locals, slowly going about their daily life.
