Here's why you shouldn't over look Laos

When anyone has asked us which country we like'd best we always reply as quick as a shot Laos! Yes it's a malaria country, yes they are lazy in laos, but dont let that stop you Laos is the most beautiful country we have ever seen, it isn't overgrown with tourism yet (watch this space) but you can book a ticket to and from anywhere as its Backpacker heaven. Its also so chilled out and relaxed(which is good at at least one point in any trip).

In Laos we spent time in Lagoon's with elephant's, beautiful Temple's. Its the heart of the Mekong river. Do not let the fact that it is landlocked stop you!

 You can spend day's on end at the lagoon's and waterfull's and they are just as fun as any beaches the twinkling clear crystal water make's you never want to leave(and they have rope swings!)

 In this gem of a country you can go tubing in one of the most legendary river's in the world.(If you dont know what tubing is, its flowing down the river in a rubber ring/dingy) you seriously couldn't want for more ;)

Do not miss Vang Vieng, even if you are a family, yes there are many bar's but those bar's are filled with people watching friend's and family guy, so go there even if its just to watch TV, & Chill at the nearby waterfall for a week or so.

I hear you say youv'e heard it's expensive? Laos is as cheap as Thailand & I can almost guarantee you will have more fun! We stayed In a bungalow on the Mekong for $8 per day with Aircon!
