Frequently asked questions about hostels in Laos

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget-conscious travellers, exploring the stunning natural landscapes is key. Kuang Si Falls near Luang Prabang offers breathtaking scenery for a small entrance fee. Similarly, the Pak Ou Caves, also near Luang Prabang, are a fascinating spiritual site accessible by boat for a reasonable price. Wandering through the charming streets of Luang Prabang itself, visiting the numerous temples (like Wat Xieng Thong), and exploring the local markets are all free or very inexpensive activities. Trekking in the countryside, particularly around Vang Vieng, is another affordable option, although hiring a guide might add to the cost.
  • What are the best hostels in Laos?

    Among the hostels in Laos, Sanga Hostel, Naga Hostel & Café and Vang Vieng Chill House are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Laos?

  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Laos?

  • What currency do you need for Laos?

    The Lao kip (LAK) is the official currency. However, US dollars are widely accepted, particularly in tourist areas. It's advisable to carry smaller denominations of US dollars as larger bills might be less readily accepted.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Laos?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Laos?

    Navigating roads in Laos can be challenging. While major roads connecting cities are generally paved, many smaller roads, especially in rural areas, are unpaved and can be rough. The condition of the roads varies significantly, and driving conditions can be affected by the weather. Public transport, such as buses, is readily available but may be slow. Hiring a driver or using motorbike taxis is another option, though safety should always be a priority.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Laos?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Laos are Nana Backpackers Hostel, Vang Vieng Freedom View Hostel and Mama Leurth Sunset Guesthouse.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Laos?

    Respectful behaviour in Laos involves modest dress when visiting temples (shoulders and knees covered), removing your shoes before entering homes or temples, seeking permission before taking photographs of people, and refraining from public displays of affection. A gentle Wai (a slight bow with palms pressed together) is a customary greeting. Being mindful of the Buddhist faith and traditions is crucial for a respectful visit.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Laos?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Laos are Vang Vieng Freedom View Hostel, Luang Prabang Hostel and La Casa Hostel.

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Laos?

    For medical emergencies, you should seek assistance from your hotel or a local clinic. Specific emergency numbers may vary depending on location, and it is best to check with your accommodation for local emergency contacts. For serious incidents, contact your embassy or consulate.

    A week in Laos could involve exploring Luang Prabang (3-4 days) for its temples, stunning natural beauty, and relaxed atmosphere, and then heading south to Vang Vieng (3-4 days) for its dramatic karst landscapes, kayaking, and caving opportunities. This itinerary balances cultural immersion with adventure activities.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Laos?

    For a short weekend trip, focusing on one area is recommended. Luang Prabang offers a concentrated dose of Lao culture and natural beauty, with numerous temples, markets, and scenic spots easily explored in a couple of days. Alternatively, Vang Vieng provides a more active weekend, focusing on outdoor pursuits.
  • Are there specific regions in Laos known for great weather?

    Laos has a tropical climate. Luang Prabang tends to have a more pleasant climate than other parts of the country, with cooler temperatures, particularly during the dry season (November to April). Southern Laos tends to be hotter and more humid year-round. The best time to visit most areas is during the dry season.
