About Laos
Laos is a very relaxed country. Vientiane, the capital, has very few airplanes at the airport and probably never any traffic jams. Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang are the places where most tourists end up. Be aware of the strange drinks here, with snakes and scorpions.

About Cambodia
The main attraction in Cambodia is without doubt Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, a large (inactive) temple complex, rebuilt piece-by-piece, that is even featured on the national currency. The capital however is Phnom Penh.

Top Destinations in Laos.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Laos. Click on the city for more details of the destination.

Luang Prabang is a pleasant city at the Mekong river, with traditional Laos-style buildings ( Unesco-heritage). There are boat connections up-stream to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Vientiane is Laos´ capital, the most populated city and the location of the government, president and some temples. It is VERY relaxing here, certainly for a capital city. No traffic jams or line-ups anywhere.

Vang Vieng used to be the city where many Westerners (in particularly youth) came to party, but after a few deadly accidents the "bad" parties are no more. There are still lots of restaurants and tourist stores... The river is still very inviting for canoeing and it is nice to rent a scooter and discover the area. Something special here is ballooning.
