Laos Hotels

Laos officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Myanmar and People's Republic of China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south and Thailand to the west. Laos traces its history to the Kingdom of Lan Xang or Land of a Million Elephants, which existed from the 14th to the 18th century.
After a period as a French protectorate it gained independence in 1949. A long civil war ended in 1975.

Laos! This land-locked mountainous country of Laos is gaining a reputation as an ecotourist destination. Its many rivers criss crossing the country and unspoilt national parks are ideal for activities such as trekking, kayaking and caving.

The capital, Vientiane and the other major towns have been spared major modern developments with traditional and colonial architecture still dominant and welcome visitors.

Visit to Laos, the land of rich culture heritage and traditional. Once is the powerfull in South East Asia. Today, Laos become leading tourist destinations in region. The number of tourists is expected to continue increasing over the next few years as more and more people discover the delights of this laid-back country of mountains and rivers. Unspoilt and undeveloped! For now, Laos remains relatively isolated and undeveloped. Its capital, Vientiane is more like a big village than a crowded Asian hub and life throughout the country is slow paced. Most people come to Laos and make a brief tour of Vientiane and UNESCO World Heritage listed Luang Prabang with perhaps a brief detour to the mysterious Plain of Jars.

But those who make the effort to explore further afield will be well rewarded with luscious landscapes, friendly people and unique glimpses of a country hardly changed for over a century.
