ABOUT LAOS


Although a little rough around the edges as it’s less developed than its neighbors, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR or Laos, for short) offers an untouched natural beauty that is hard to beat.

Plus, the slow pace of life and welcoming people make it an excellent place to relax. Grab a BeerLao, lounge beside the Mekong, and watch an epic sunset. Or, explore some caves, tube down a river, and zipline through jungles. Laos is paradise for both adventure lovers and those who just want to sit back and let their worries fade away!
