Laos JOURNEYS
The beating heart of Southeast Asia
Laos is completely enclosed by other countries, there is no direct connection to the sea. Geographically, Laos is the heart of Southeast Asia, and this location makes it very possible to combine a trip to Laos with neighboring countries. But remember: the best elements of Southeast Asia's cultural and spiritual heritage come together here. Laos is a beating heart, with a remarkably relaxed atmosphere.
The main waterway is the Mekong River , and during a trip through Laos you will look out over this mighty river several times. The largest cities of Laos are located on the banks of the Mekong: Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Savannakhet and Pakse . Cultural centers with a rich history, with beautiful Buddhist temples and ancient monuments, but also a vibrant nightlife. These cities are in full development.
You will experience the most striking characteristics of the country especially when you travel to the corners, where the colorful diversity of peoples is greatest. You will then discover the green patchwork of rice fields and plantations, and the breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes. Karst Mountains dominate, the jagged limestone rocks protrude through the dense vegetation. The jungle is covered in a thick blanket of fog in the morning, but once the mist dissolves, colors come to life.

FROM OUR BLOG
Thailand and Laos, Where the world can’t find you…
Friendly, safe, rich in culture and national parks full of wildlife, the country where even the street food is 'divine'; Thailand is for everyone! It is high time to experience this in person, and also to make use of the central location in Southeast Asia. By invitation I visit the attractions in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, take a trip to the beautiful Luang Prabang (Laos), and finish this eight-day adventure in Bangkok with a lively night out.
