Laos flood alert

The Mekong River in Laos has risen above flood levels and warnings have been issued by local authorities.

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 interest for the eco-traveller, as well as masses of temples, friendly locals and acclaimed French-Asian food. 

It is the ideal destination for the holidaymaker who wants to experience native life in a largely tourist-free country.
