LAOS: INTRODUCTION
This land well shaded by the glory of its Thai and Cambodian neighbors, is
somewhat of a forgotten treasure. However, shine a light and discover the
diverse spectrum that is Laos. A world of towering mountain ranges and fertile
river beds, Laos is a colorful stage on which some of the most charming scenes
of Southeast Asia unfold.
From Vientiane, one of the quietest capitals in the world to Vang Vieng, where
a world of adventure beckons; Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of UNESCO
world heritage prominence, to the mysterious Plain of Jars, eluding to a
civilization far pre-dating that of Angkor Wat, Laos rivals its neighbors in more
ways than one. Explore the myriad of temples that reflect the prominent
Buddhist faith of its inhabitants, or simply marvel at the untouched beauty of a
sunset upon the Mekong.
