FAQs
For a perfect climate, the best time to visit Laos is from November to May, when travelers can enjoy various activities outside due to dry weather and pleasant temperature.
There is no wrong time to travel to Laos since each season possesses its own typical beauty, however, if you cannot come to the country during the ideal period above, please notice the following durations’ drawbacks:
- July - August: Belongs to the peak of monsoon season, your trip may be disrupted by unavailable transfers due to bad weather, which also influences your travel experiences. If you prefer a smooth journey, it’s recommended to avoid these months.
- April - May: Witnessing the highest temperature in the hot season (~40°C), traveling during this time will be an uncomfortable experience for many tourists, especially visitors from cold countries.
- September - October: Though there are heavy rains with high humidity in September, the next month is more enjoyable with fewer downpours, fresh air, and lush scenery after the rains. The best time to beat the crowds.
Normally, the travel cost for a Lao package is a bit higher than in other Southeast Asia countries, at around US $110 - 350 /person /day.
Depending on your budget, the actual expenditure will vary since each class is priced differently. Let’s see our rough estimation below (travel cost per person /day):
- Economy (2*): For budget travelers - US $120 - 150
- Superior (3*): For mid-range travelers - US $160 - 200
- First Class (4* hotels): For luxury travelers - US $250 ++
A Laos tour package can range from 6 - 15 days. Based on your availability, a short trip will allow you to explore the country’s highlights, while the longer one enables you to take a deeper glance at nature and local lifestyle:
- 5 - 7 days: Witness the most outstanding landmarks in Laos, usually in Luang Prabang and the capital Vientiane
- 8 - 10 days: Expand to off-the-beaten-track exploration (such as Pakse and Nong Khiaw) besides the main cities.
- Over 12 days: Have a thorough knowledge of Laos through adventures from the cities to secluded areas and untouched nature.

Generally, Laos people are welcoming and nice. However, there are things you shouldn’t do since it will be considered disrespectful:
- Don't touch a monk (women especially need to be careful). Since Buddhism is the main religion in Laos, you shouldn’t touch the Buddha images /statues too.
- Don't trek without a guide: Increase caution in some rural areas, such as Savannakhet, Xieng Khouang, Saravane, Khammouane, Sekong, etc., due to unexploded bombs. It’s safe to have a guide who knows about the routes.
- Don't argue with the police: It’s not wise to have a conflict with the police, you should comply with the rules. Since corruption is a problem in Laos, sometimes they only want to get money from foreign tourists, all you should do is just pay the bribe.
- Don't touch anyone with your feet: This is supposed to be rudeness.
- Don't wear your shoes inside a home or temple: This rule also applies to some restaurants, shops, and hotels.
- Don't shout, argue or rush: Like the Thai people, Laos people don’t want to lose face. The best thing to do is smile, or else you won’t achieve anything.
- Don't make public displays of affection: Or you will receive frowns and disagreeing glances from locals.
- Don't buy antiques or wildlife products: as well as use marijuana and opium, as drugs are illegal in the country.
Vientiane:
- Major spots: Wat Sisaket, Wat Prakeo, Patuxai Monument
As the smallest capital in Southeast Asia, the city offers serene vibe of a small town with a riverside ambiance, captivating monuments, and ancient temples.
Luang Prabang:
- Major spots: Kuang Si waterfalls, Pak Ou caves, Elephant Village
This is the most beautiful place in Laos, with amazing natural landscapes and interesting cultural exploration. The city also provides tourists with a one-of-a-kind experience - interacting with wild animals in Elephant Village.
Nong Khiaw:
- Major spots: 100 Waterfalls
If you are an active traveler who always looks for adventurous activities, Nong Khiaw is an ideal destination to hike and enjoy the marvelous beauty of nature.
Si Phan Don (4000 islands):
- Major spots: Don Det, Don Khong
Located in the south of Laos, Si Phan Don is a group of islands in the Mekong Delta. A wonderful escape place for unwinding and recharging with pristine islands, relaxing biking, and enjoyable boat tours.
Pakse:
- Major spots: Bolaven Plateau
Famous for hill tribes, waterfalls, and tea plantations, you should not miss visiting Pakse when traveling to Laos, as you can explore many parts of the country, from nature to local life.
Overall, Laos is relatively safe for foreigners to travel. The country is one of the safest tourist destinations in Asia:
- Political Status: As an authoritarian centralized one-party state, the politics in Laos is quite stable.
- Crime Rate: Though violent crimes towards foreigners aren’t high, petty crimes like opportunistic thefts are quite popular in tourist areas. The solution for that is simple - always be aware of your surroundings.
- Local People: Ranked the third friendliest country in the world, Laos people are friendly, kind, and polite to foreign tourists.
Covid-19 Pandemic: On May 9th 2022, Laos is fully open. All foreign tourists do not need to show proof of vaccination or Covid-19 test results.
Yes, tourist visas are required in Laos. Currently, Laos has visa exception agreements with 15 countries, including Brunei, Luxembourg, Philippines, Switzerland, Cambodia, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, Indonesia, Mongolia, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Myanmar, and South Korea.
If your country isn’t in the list above, you can obtain a visa for Laos entry in 3 ways:
- Apply for a visa at an Embassy or Consulate in Laos
- Apply online through the official eVisa issuance website (https://laoevisa.gov.la/index), at around US $50 per applicant.
- Visa on arrival (VOA) at most entry ports, from US$ 30 - 45 /person, depending on each nationality (Not all countries are eligible to apply for VOA, please check before traveling)
First of all, tipping is not compulsory in Laos, yet leaving a tip to show your satisfaction with the services is always appreciated.

Note: You can find an adapter at markets in Vientiane and other large cities at around US $1 - 2.

Instead of completing your survey, I will provide our opinion of the trip with words. We believe surveys are misleading, particularly the ratings, which are subjective.
When we plan or rate a trip, we look for adventurous activities, inclusion of top tourist attractions, sightseeing, entertainment and pretty scenery. As I previously explained, we were happy with the trip and had a great time, but there were areas for improvement with the tours, which I cover below. You did an excellent job with the logistics and getting us from point A to point B.
We liked all the hotels and their breakfasts. The staff at Hanoi Tirant and Hoi An Lantana Riverside were extremely helpful and personable, which added to the experience. The Victoria Nui Sam and Somadevi Angkor were both very nice and we had time to enjoy the pools at both hotels.
Guides
Sugar, our guide in the Mekong Delta has an amazing personality, is high energy and this added to the experience. Both Thip in Chiang Mai and Jira in Bangkok took their jobs seriously, were motivated and had a desire to provide a good experience. Some of the other guides appeared to be bored and were just going through the motions. Our guide in Phnom Penh did not know the itinerary or the schedule.
When going on tours, we look for value added. In other words, is the tour something we could not do on our own and is it a good use of our time. In our opinion, the tours are an area that needs improvement. The lunches on the tours were all good.
Ha Long Bay – This should have been an amazing part of our trip, but it was not. We were supposed to go to a cave and the staff confirmed that we were going to visit one. Instead, we went under a bridge, which they identified as the cave. This was a major omission. We spoke to our friends, who went to Ha Long Bay on a day trip several days after we did. They shared their photos, and they went into an actual cave, hiked and kayaked in a more scenic area. An overnight tour should be much better than a day tour, but this was not the case. Our Ha Long Bay tour was not a highlight.
Chiang Mai – We were only in Chiang Mai for one full day. Our tour took us two hours away from the city. Fortunately, our guide eliminated the tours of the gem and silverware factories and we skipped lunch so we could get back to the city to explore the beautiful temples, which is the reason to visit Chiang Mai. This tour may have been acceptable if we were in Chiang Mai for 3 or 4 full days, although it still too far to be taken to go on factory and village shopping tours. This poor scheduling almost caused irreparable damage to our trip. Also, we did not need to go so far away to go to a Silk Worm Factory, as we already had done this in Hoi An.
Hoi An Tour – We enjoyed the visit to the Silk Worm Factory and the dance performance. The rest of the tour through the Old Town we could have done on our own more efficiently. The guide was not planning to take us to the Tan Ky House, which is the most famous attraction in the Old Town. I had to convince her to take us there, which was surprising, since it is a top attraction in the Old Town.
Hanoi Tour – We were supposed to go to the Temple of Literature, but the guide removed it from our tour. The guide stating that he was adding Train Street to our tour because a train was arriving soon. He misled us, as he later stated that the Train Street stop was instead of the Temple of Literature. The Temple of Literature is a top attraction in Hanoi and should have been included in the tour.
Other – There was a lot of wasted time going to and from the other hotels at each location. Also, the tours, when possible, should start earlier in the morning to allow for more daylight after the tours are done each day. Many of the tours we could have done on our own and were not really value added. Tours should provide a lot adventure, experience, entertainment or scenery, that one cannot do on their own. Positive tours included the Hoi An Vespa, Hoi An Basket Boats and Siem Reap Bike Tours, which all satisfied this criteria. On the Vespa Tour, the visits to the Woven Mats, Rice Noodle and Woodworking factories were very interesting, as was the Silk Factory on the tour in Hoi An.
In summary, we had a very lovely trip and we thank you for putting it together. I apologize if we were too critical about the tours, but from our experience, this is what we look for when we travel.
Best Regards,
Lawrence L. Less
We're so thankful for the well-planned tour that let us travel worry-free, especially with BestPrice's help in adjusting the schedule to fit our health needs.

We really miss the ancient beauty of Luang Prabang and the colorful sights of Vientiane. We hope to come back someday, but we have many other places to visit first. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to return to these countries on another trip. Less

The culinary trip is such a great way to kick off a long journey, marking a delightful start for fellow travelers.
In Halong Bay, our accommodations on the boat exceeded expectations, offering not only comfortable rooms but also stunning panoramic views of the limestone karsts. Kayaking amidst this natural wonder was a highlight.
Arriving in Hoi An, we were greeted by the warm hospitality of the Allegro hotel staff. I love the charming ambiance of Hoi An and each moment spent wandering through its quaint streets was a step back in time.
Ho Chi Minh City, with its vibrant energy and bustling streets, provided a contrast to the tranquility of Hoi An. Yet, amidst the chaos, our guide navigated us effortlessly, ensuring we didn't miss any of the city's hidden gems.
Chau Doc offered a serene interlude along the Mekong River, where we savored the peace and quiet after the excitement of the city.
Crossing into Cambodia, our journey continued seamlessly, thanks to the promptness of our driver and the well-organized tour arrangements. We went through all the bustling streets of Phnom Penh to the awe-inspiring temples of Siem Reap.
Finally, our odyssey concluded in Laos, where the enchanting city of Luang Prabang welcomed us with its timeless charm and tranquil beauty.
In conclusion, the Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos Odyssey 20-day tour surpassed all expectations. Thanks to the impeccable planning and expertise of our guides, every moment was a treasure to be cherished. We recommend this tour anyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Southeast Asia. Less
