LAOS

The Jamaica of Southeast Asia, Laos is renowned for its laid-back way of life

With a backdrop of stunning geography, visit Laos to experience French colonial food and architecture mixed with traditional Laos hospitality and conviviality.

This deeply spiritual Southeast Asian country has a reputation for being a tranquil and sleepy backwater, but the truth is that it is an incredibly vibrant young country emerging gracefully from a Cold War era mentality. Underexplored, endearing and enchanting, Laos is a country that will surprise and delight you in the most charming ways.
