Good to know
Getting there
There is no direct international travel to Laos. You will need to change planes in either Hanoi, Vietnam; Bangkok or Chiang Mai, Thailand or Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Visas
Laos permits visa on arrival. You’ll need at least one blank page in your passport, with six months validity beyond the date of travel.
Shopping
The shopping in Luang Prabang is great. There are lots of boutique stores, handmade crafts, woodware, woven fabrics and prints.
Travel
For overland travel, you can take a fun cruise from Laos to Thailand. There is also a new high-speed train—Laos-China railway—linking the length of the country.
