Great Sites in Laos

Since Laos is Passport Health’s country of the month, we have decided to show you some great sites to see on your trip through Laos.

Visit the capital, Vientiane!

This interesting city is the capital of Laos, with a compelling history dating back to French Colonial Times. Be sure to check out Vientiane’s fascinating Buddhist monestaries like Wat Sisaket, and markets where you can find great Eastern goods, like the Morning Market. You’ll be surprised at how this bustling city has maintained its traditional village life.

Go on a once in a life time cycling trip through Laos!

Laos has some incredibly beautiful terrain, with rolling hills and fascinating little villages. So if you’re an athlete or an adventure traveler, why not take a bicycle tour through the beautiful country? Companies like Backroads Travel offer reasonable tours.

Ride an Elephant!

Laos, known as “land of a million elephants” is slowly losing its elephant population. Luckily, organizations like Tiger Trail have created ecotourism in Laos, where these animals can find refuge. On your trip to Laos head to the Elephant Park, located in Luang Phabang to ride an elephant.
