Testimonials from our travelers

An adventure rich in discoveries (ethnic groups, landscapes). A breathtaking region, a very welcoming people, the end of the journey in Luang Prabang to finish beautifully in this charming and unique city, which invites contemplation and nonchalance. A superbly organized itinerary, with no downtime. An excellent guide. Only problem: we should have stayed another month!

Jérémy and Catherine

Discovery of a truly authentic country. The culture shock is magnified, but what a wonderful welcome from the different ethnic groups, villagers, and merchants. Luang Prabang is a pleasant city brimming with architectural treasures. The night market allows for interaction with the local population. The encounter with the monks and the spiritual aspect truly captured my attention. Southern Laos charmed us with the Vat Phou temple, a first glimpse of the journey towards Cambodia before the Khong islands… magnificent vegetation and meeting the local people is a grand experience!

Delphine

Wonderful trip to Laos. Authentic and splendid landscapes. The Laotians are truly charming and very welcoming.

Gérard and his family

We were truly delighted with this trip to Laos, which amazed us from start to finish. The hotels were carefully chosen, all our hosts were lovely, and the trek/homestay part was simply unique. We loved Luang Prabang, especially the day with Mr. Wang who shared his city with great generosity. […]

Marie

If we loved this trip to Laos, we owe it of course to the beauty of the country and the kindness of its inhabitants, but also to our wonderful guide Sengdao who was a marvelous human encounter for us. A million thanks!

Claude and Marie-Laurence

Everything was well organized and pleasant! We loved our guide. We enjoyed the village visits, bathing the elephants, the cruises, the landscapes, the gentleness of the Laotians. We appreciated the hotels and their magnificent river views. We truly loved this country and its people! Thank you!

Dominique

Very good trip overall. Bravo for the elephant ride, the Mekong descent, the picnic with the Muang La guide, the river trek, and the orchid trek.

Maxime

The program, established according to our requests, was well-balanced and the pace suited us perfectly. We appreciated being able to unpack our bags for more than one night in Muang La, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, and Don Khone.

Michel

Very good overall impression: pleasant encounters, discovery of local populations (ethnic groups) in the villages, very interesting, sometimes moving (the families, their way of life, their kindness). Journeys sometimes a bit long, but this is entirely understandable given the geographical context.

Olivier and Christine

We will cherish very fond memories of our stay in Laos, which is still preserved from mass tourism and still seems authentic to us. We had wonderful encounters with the Laotian people and were able to contemplate magnificent landscapes, particularly through treks and cruises on the Mekong.

The result: a vibrant, fair trip, without unnecessary frills.

    How does our tailor-made service work?

    1. You send us your request (dates, budget, desires, profile)
    2. We send you an initial response within 24 working hours, followed by a detailed proposal within 48 working hours of receiving the necessary information: your itinerary, accommodation and a quote specifying the services included.
    3. We refine the proposal together, adjusting the itinerary, accommodation and activities to suit your expectations and budget.
    4. We coordinate the services included in your itinerary on the ground: guides, transport, accommodation and activities.

    When to visit Laos?

    From November to February, the weather is generally drier and temperatures are milder. March and April are often hotter. The rainy season, from May to October, brings lush green landscapes; we adapt the itinerary and transport to local conditions.

    The cost depends on the length of your trip, the season, the number of travellers, your accommodation and the services you choose. We prepare a personalised quote based on your wishes and budget, specifying the services included and any expenses to budget for separately.

    Entry requirements depend on your nationality, the length of your stay and your point of entry. Depending on your circumstances, you may apply for an e-Visa or a visa on arrival. The tourist e-Visa allows a stay of 30 days and can only be used at designated entry points. We help you check which procedures apply to your trip.

    Yes. We adapt the pace, destinations, accommodation and activities to your children’s ages and your family’s wishes. We focus on a balanced itinerary, with time to rest and suitable journeys between stops.

    Yes. You can plan your trip in English with our local team. Depending on your itinerary, we arrange visits with English-speaking guides and the support you need during your stay.

    A few days allow you to explore Luang Prabang and the surrounding area. Allow around ten days to combine Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane, or 15 to 18 days to include southern Laos. We adapt the itinerary and journeys to the time you have available and your preferred pace.

    Laos, the heart of your Indochina tour

    Laos is often the surprise of a trip: uncrowded, authentic, with a quiet beauty. Asia Safari makes Laos much more than a stopover — we make it the central experience of your stay, before or after Vietnam, Cambodia, or Thailand.

    Our travel ideas for Laos and neighbouring countries

    Laos + Cambodia: from the temples of Luang Prabang to Angkor, shape a journey combining cultural heritage and Mekong scenery. A visit to Tonlé Sap can complement the itinerary, depending on your interests and the time available.
    Laos + Vietnam: Two contrasting countries — the calm of Laos and the energy of Vietnam. From Hanoi to Vientiane or vice versa.
    Northern Laos + Yunnan: from the landscapes of Yunnan to the mountains of northern Laos, the Laos–China railway can connect some of the stops on your journey. We plan the route with you, in either direction.
    Grand Indochina Tour (40 days): Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand — a memorable trip for life.

    Tips for preparing your multi-country tour

    Visas: each country has its own rules — Asia Safari guides you through all procedures.
    Duration: we adapt the number of stops to the time you have available. For a trip combining two countries, we consider the regions you want to explore, travel between destinations and your preferred pace.
    Seasons: seasons vary by country — we help you choose the best window.
    Budget: the cost of a multi-country trip depends on its length, the season, the number of travellers, accommodation and transport between destinations. We prepare a personalised quote specifying the services included and any expenses to budget for separately.

    We can combine Laos with Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand or Yunnan in China. We design the itinerary around your dates, interests and arrival point, then select connections suited to the route and each country’s entry requirements.

    To explore several regions in Laos and either Vietnam or Cambodia, allow around 15 to 18 days. A shorter combined trip is possible with fewer stops. Allow several weeks for a grand tour of multiple countries. We adapt the route to the time you have available and your preferred pace.

    Laos in figures

    Laos covers 236,800 km² and had a population of around 7.9 million in 2025. Its capital is Vientiane, its official language is Lao and its currency is the Lao kip (LAK). Theravada Buddhism is the main religion. The country is in the UTC+7 time zone.

    Laos must-sees

    Luang Prabang: Former royal capital, a UNESCO World Heritage site, its golden temples, French colonial houses, and gentle way of life make it an undeniable favorite.
    Vientiane: The human-sized capital — That Luang, Patuxai, and the banks of the Mekong are worth a visit.
    Vang Vieng: Surrounded by limestone karsts, ideal for kayaking, caving, and hiking.
    Southern Laos and 4000 Islands: Champassak, the Vat Phou temples (UNESCO), the Bolaven Plateau, and the Mekong islands.

    Lao culture

    Theravada Buddhism has an important place in Laos, alongside a variety of cultural traditions. In Luang Prabang, the monks’ morning alms round is a religious ritual to observe with discretion and respect. Boun Pi Mai, Lao New Year in April, and Boun Ok Phansa, which marks the end of the Buddhist rains retreat, are among the events that shape the year.

    Nature and biodiversity

    The forests and protected areas of Laos are home to a variety of wildlife, including Asian elephants, gibbons and sun bears. Rivers, mountains and plateaus offer many opportunities to explore nature.

    We plan your itinerary with local conditions in mind and explain the precautions relevant to your planned journeys and activities. Before departure, also consult official travel advice, which outlines the risks in different regions.

    From November to February, the weather is generally drier and temperatures are milder. March and April are often hotter. The rainy season, from May to October, brings lush green landscapes; we adapt the itinerary and transport to local conditions.

    The official currency is the Lao kip (LAK). Bring cash in kip for everyday expenses and stays in rural areas. ATMs are available in the main towns and cities; card acceptance varies by establishment.

    Before departure, check that your routine vaccinations are up to date. Additional vaccinations, including hepatitis A, and any preventive malaria medication should be discussed with your doctor or a travel vaccination centre, based on your health and itinerary. Also take precautions against mosquito bites.

    A few days allow you to explore Luang Prabang and the surrounding area. Allow around ten days to combine Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. A more extensive itinerary into central and southern Laos requires more time: we adjust its length to your interests and preferred pace.
