Frequently asked questions about hotels in Laos
What are the best landmarks to visit in Laos?
Luang Prabang's stunning temples like Wat Xieng Thong and Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham are must-sees. The Kuang Si Falls are breathtaking, and the Plain of Jars, with its mysterious megalithic jars, offers a unique historical experience. In Pakse, the impressive Wat Phou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a significant Khmer temple complex. Don't forget the stunning scenery of the Mekong River.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Laos?
Exploring the ancient temples of Luang Prabang, trekking through the lush jungles, kayaking or boat trips on the Mekong River, visiting the stunning Kuang Si Falls, and experiencing the vibrant night markets are all highly recommended activities. For a more cultural experience, consider attending a traditional Baci ceremony.
The ideal time to visit is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is pleasant and sunny. However, it's also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (October and May) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
A week allows for a good exploration of Luang Prabang and its surrounding areas, including the Kuang Si Falls and Pak Ou Caves. Alternatively, you could spend time exploring southern Laos, focusing on Pakse and the Bolaven Plateau, with its waterfalls and coffee plantations. Another option is to explore the four thousand islands in the south.
Which parts of Laos are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Luang Prabang is perfect for a long weekend, offering a blend of culture, history, and natural beauty. Alternatively, Vang Vieng, with its stunning karst mountains and opportunities for kayaking and tubing, provides a more adventurous short break.
Renting a car isn't generally recommended for most travellers. The roads can be challenging, especially outside of major cities. Motorbikes are a popular choice for independent travellers, but require a valid international driving permit and careful riding. Buses and tuk-tuks are readily available and often a more convenient and safer option.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Laos?
Credit card acceptance is limited in Laos, particularly outside of major hotels and tourist areas. Cash, specifically Lao Kip, is king. ATMs are available in most towns and cities, but it's wise to carry sufficient cash, especially in more remote locations.
What are the largest airports in Laos?
The two largest airports are Wattay International Airport (VTE) in Vientiane and Pakse International Airport (PKZ) in Pakse. These are the main gateways for international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Laos?
Respectful behaviour is paramount. Removing your shoes before entering temples and homes is essential. Avoid public displays of affection and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. The head is considered sacred, so avoid touching people's heads. Always greet people with a gentle 'sabaidee' (hello).
What local specialties should you try in Laos?
Laos offers a delicious cuisine. Try Lao Lap (minced meat salad), Or Lam (hot pot), Khao Soi (coconut curry noodle soup), and sticky rice, a staple food. Don't forget to sample the fresh fruit and delicious coffee from the Bolaven Plateau.
Where are the best shopping spots in Laos?
The night markets in Luang Prabang and Vientiane are excellent places to find handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs. In Luang Prabang, the morning market offers a wider variety of local produce and goods. Pakse also has a bustling market with local products.
What signature events or festivals take place in Laos?
Boun That Luang, a major Buddhist festival in Vientiane, is a spectacular event. The Boun That Luang festival is a highlight of the Lao calendar. Other significant festivals include Boun Pi Mai (Lao New Year) and Boun Khao Pansa (the end of Buddhist Lent).
What’s the best place in Laos for mild and comfortable weather?
The Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos generally enjoys a milder climate than the lowlands, with cooler temperatures, particularly during the dry season. Luang Prabang also experiences pleasant temperatures for much of the year.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Laos?
Underestimating travel times, not exchanging enough Lao Kip, neglecting to check visa requirements, and failing to pack appropriate clothing for varying conditions are common mistakes. Overpacking is also a frequent issue.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Laos?
The less-visited temples and villages surrounding Luang Prabang offer a more authentic Lao experience. The remote areas of the Bolaven Plateau, with their stunning waterfalls and coffee plantations, are also less crowded. Consider exploring the less-visited areas of the 4000 Islands.
