Laos
The slow lane of Southeast Asia. Fewer travellers, gentler pace, a new Chinese-built high-speed railway, and in Luang Prabang one of the loveliest small towns on the continent.
入境与签证
Most nationalities can obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival at international airports and major land borders, or an e-visa in advance through the official portal. Some ASEAN and a few other passports are visa-exempt. Overstays are fined per day.

安全
Generally very safe. Unexploded ordnance from the Vietnam War remains in rural eastern provinces: stay on marked paths. Methanol poisoning from home-made spirits has caused tourist deaths in Vang Vieng; drink only sealed, branded alcohol.

健康
Medical facilities are basic outside Vientiane; serious cases cross to Thailand (Udon Thani or Bangkok). Dengue and malaria (in rural south) are present.
金钱
The kip has lost significant value in recent years and prices move; many businesses quote in Thai baht or dollars. ATMs are limited outside main towns and dispense small amounts.
小费: Not expected; small tips welcome · 自来水: Not drinkable
出行方式
The Laos-China Railway now connects Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang in hours instead of days. Minivans and the slow boat from the Thai border remain the classic routes.
SIM卡与网络连接
Unitel and Lao Telecom offer cheap tourist SIMs; coverage fades fast in the mountains.
