The Best Places in Laos

If you're a traveller looking for a calmer, rural, more authentic Southeast asian experience, Laos is your place. Across the one very short month we spent travelling through this beautiful country, we said the words, "How the hell isn't this country more popular?" and, "I think this might be my favourite place so far..." at least a million times. From the charming river island of Don Det, to the rural country roads of the Pakse and Thakhek Loop, to the adrenaline capital of Vang Vieng, we guarantee that Laos will find a place in your heart.

Pakse Loop

The Pakse Loop is quickly rising in popularity because of its smooth drives and infinte amount of waterfalls - get in quick before it becomes a booming tourist attraction!

Thakhek Loop

The Thakhek Loop has got to be our favourite motorbike loop EVER! The highlight of our time in Laos for sure.

Luang Prabang

A quaint, European style town in Northern Laos, you'll be blown away by one of the most gorgeous waterfalls we have ever seen!

Don Det, 1000 Islands

Don Det is one of the many humble islands along the Mekong river in Southern Laos, and home to the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia.

Vang Vieng

The most epic, adrenaline-inducing adventure capital in Laos! If you come here, be prepared to step out of your comfort zone.

Slow Boat from Laos to Thailand

The most memorable way to travel from Laos to Thailand is by taking the slow boat along the Mekong River.
