LAOS

Laos is the peaceful land-locked nation where to tread lightly, but foreign travelers are made quite welcome and encouraged to do their part to preserve and participate in cultural practices. Indeed, it is a country of astounding physical beauty, kind-heart people and compelling cultural heritage. The beauty of Laos exists not only along the Mekong at sunset, but also in smiles at the market or impromptu Lao lessons on the street corner, things that are easily missed if you're in a hurry. It's an enchanting land that demands you slow your pace to match its own, and even the shortest visit might add tranquility to your travels.
