With a laidback atmosphere prevading throughout the whole country, Laos is frequently (and with good reason) referred to as the most relaxaing country in South East Asia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Luang Prabang retains a traditional feel with French architecture and tree lined streets, whilst the captial city of Vientaine hardly differs. Without the hustle and bustle of other Asian Capitals, Vientaine is a place to explore at a slow pace or sit back and watch the locals go about their business as you enjoy a Beerlao by the riverside. Even with a busy itinerary, you won’t be short of time to relax; from a leisurely cruise down the Mekong, to a private meditation session in a local monastery or sit back and for those looking for a bit of sun, sea and sand to end their holiday, add on a beach break to neighbouring Cambodia, Vietnam or Thaialnd – just a short flight away.
