Finish the Sentence: Laos

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Laos

It may be landlocked and one of the poorer, quiter nations in southeast Asia, but Laos is a gem of a country just around the corner from a full-blown tourist invasion. It’s got a distinctly Thai-Vietnam flavour, and the chill of country where anything goes, at least for the meantime. Here are some new friends as I made my south.
