LAOS – KINGDOM OF MILLION ELEPHANTS….

Lao PDR, or “”Please Don’t Rush,”” is a hilarious yet accurate way to sum up life there. Compared to its neighbors China, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, the atmosphere there is considerably different.

Laos, troubled by the two recent Indochina wars, seems cut off from the rest of the world. This country appears to move slowly, with residents who appear to merge with the untamed wilderness and lose track of the passing hours.

Happiness is the most important thing there, and the Lao people live each moment as if it were their last. Far from the present building developments, Asia’s fauna is unquestionably the most plentiful. The underground river caverns, the jungle, and the karst mountains all fascinate us about the nation. The Mekong Delta is home to the spin of those areas, where you can ride a boat and be mesmerized by the stunning scenery. Spending some time unwinding at Vang Vieng, a village by the Mekong River that is incredibly tranquil, will also make you happy.

The people of this country are also what make it rich, though. Laos boasts one of Asia’s most ethnically diverse populations. Each ethnic minority, from the Hmong in the North to the Kahu and Alak, has its own distinctive traditions. Laotians genuinely cherish their traditions, and as Wat play a significant role in daily life, every town has a temple. Theradava Buddhism provides these residents, who are kind and modest by nature, with a rhythm to their everyday lives. Laos has many fascinating artifacts to show you, from the golden That Luang of Vientiane to the enormous monastery of Wat Mai in Luang Prabang. Your feet will constantly lead you to unexpected discoveries, from the breathtaking scenery of Vang Vieng with its waterfalls and lush paddy fields to the unexpected UNESCO World Heritage site of the Plains of Jars in Phonsavan and the architectural site of Wat Phou, the most magnificent Khmer civilization legacy in this country.
