Laos is one of the least developed countries in south-east Asia, which also means it is one of the most unspoilt. Its lush greenery and forests provide much of interest for the eco-traveller, as well as masses of temples surrounded by friendly locals and acclaimed French-Asian food. In addition, it is the ideal destination for the holidaymaker who wants to experience native life in a largely tourist-free country.
