Laos Unveiled
emples, saffron-robed monks and the Mekong River – all evocative images of an amazing country Starting in Bangkok we travel to Laos, the hidden gem of the former French Indochina. Travelling by slow boat on a leisurely pace down the Mekong River, we arrive at Luang Prabang, where royal palaces and temples tell the story of the rich Lao culture and heritage. A visit to the mysterious Plain of Jars takes us even further back in time to an archaeological site said to be 2000 years old, whilst nearby Hmong villages remind us also of the country’s intricate cultural diversity. We fly to the capital, Vientiane, a sleepy yet charming town on the Mekong River with its old buildings still exuding the mood of the French colonial days. We venture out to coffee growing region of southern Laos, the Bolaven Plateau and enjoy the laid back atmosphere of Si Pan Don (4000 islands) in southern Laos before flying back to Vientiane.
