Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to February when weather is cooler and river travel is smooth. Pack lightweight clothing, rain gear for the wet season, and sturdy shoes for walking. Respect local customs by dressing modestly, especially at temples. Carry cash in Lao kip as card payments are rare. Stay hydrated and be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
