Laos Tours

Lao cuisine is generally fresh and aromatic, often featuring sticky rice as a staple. It shares similarities with Thai and Vietnamese food but has its own distinct flavors, often incorporating fresh herbs, lime, chili, and fermented fish sauce.

• Street food is a highlight and generally safe, provided you choose popular stalls with high turnover. Look for freshly cooked food and places where locals eat.
• Don't be afraid to try local specialties like Laap (minced meat salad), Tam Mak Hoong (green papaya salad), and fresh Mekong fish.
• If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, inform your guide or server.

Your packing list will depend on the season and regions you visit, but some general essentials include:

• Lightweight, breathable clothing (cotton, linen) for the warm and humid climate.
• Modest attire (shoulders and knees covered) for visiting temples, pagodas, or other religious sites.
• Comfortable walking shoes, especially for exploring temples or trekking.
• Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.
• Insect repellent (Dengue fever is present).
• A light rain jacket or umbrella (especially during the wet season).
• Basic first-aid kit.
• Portable power bank and a universal adapter.
