Laos
Whether you’re relaxing in French-infused Vientiane or taking a slow ride on the Mekong, Laos seems determined to force a smile on to the face of all who travel there. Every country may claim to have a welcoming, good-humoured people – here it’s true, a fact of life as indisputable as the beauty of the thousands of Buddha statues in the Pak Ou Caves. Laos quietly goes about its business of packing astounding sights and experiences within its borders: ruminate over the origin and meaning of the mysterious, mesmerising Plain of Jars before heading south in search of the Irrawaddy dolphin among the widening Mekong’s ‘Four Thousand Islands’. After a few days here, you begin to appreciate why the locals are so happy.

Take as little luggage as possible. Most of the hotels had fast, reliable inexpensive laundry service. The basic accommodation is all part of the fun.
