| Lao People`s Democratic Republic | Having a total area slightly larger than the state of Utah, or almost twice as large as Greece, Laos is a country sparsely inhabited but of a long and dazzling civilization. Its monuments, despite the damage they suffered during the almost 50-year-long war in Indochina, are of great importance to the visitor. Equally important is the tropical nature, with land- and seascapes of superb beauty! Temples, archaeological sites and the hospitable people make your travel to Laos an unforgettable experience. Equally interesting may be your cheap shopping options of handmade cloth and clothing in Vientiane, capital city of Laos, or elsewhere! Laos, on the west bank of the mighty Mekong river, has always been a shopping center and a pathway for merchants and travelers. |
