INSPIRATION

Peace, Faith, Discovery

Bolaven Plateau

High in southern Laos, the Bolaven Plateau is a land of misty mornings and cascading falls. Days begin with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and end beside thundering water at Tad Fane or Tad Yuang.

Alms Giving

At dawn, as golden light touches the streets, lines of saffron-robed monks collect alms in silence: a tradition that has endured for centuries.

That Luang Festival

Every November, the golden stupa of That Luang glows under a sky filled with lanterns. Pilgrims gather, offerings are made, and the capital hums with music and devotion

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

1. How do I book and pay?

Once you agree an itinerary, confirm by email and we send a reservation form to complete, with scans of your passports, and an invoice for a 25% deposit. Your booking is confirmed when we receive both, and a travel contract follows. The deposit can be paid by bank transfer or credit card, with a bank fee of 3% for Visa or Mastercard and 4% for Amex. Your consultant will confirm how and when the balance is due. See our Terms & Conditions.

2. What does the price include, and can I change the itinerary?

Quoted prices are per person, based on four travelers in standard hotels, and exclude international flights. Our tours are private and tailor-made, so the final price depends on the travel period, hotel category, group size and activities. You can change the itinerary: your consultant adjusts the route, hotels and pace until it fits.

3. Can I watch the alms-giving ceremony in Luang Prabang?

Yes, but it is a living religious practice rather than a tourist activity. Arrive early, dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered, stay silent, keep a respectful distance and do not use flash or touch the monks. Avoid buying rice or snacks from street sellers aimed at tourists, since local families give the offerings. Your guide will advise on where to stand.

4. Which currency should I carry in Laos?

The Lao kip is the official currency and Laos is largely cash-based. US dollars are widely accepted, and Thai baht near the Thai border, especially for hotels and larger payments, but small purchases are usually in kip. ATMs exist in the main towns, are scarce in rural areas and limit each withdrawal, so carry cash. Kip cannot be exchanged outside Laos, so change what you have left before you fly.

5. What is the Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF)?

Laos has replaced its paper arrival and departure cards with the Lao Digital Immigration Form, completed online at immigration.gov.la within three days before arrival, and again before departure. It gives you a QR code to show at immigration and does not replace the visa. You will need your passport, visa and first address in Laos. Coverage is being extended to all checkpoints during 2026, so your consultant will confirm whether your entry point requires it.

6. Do I need a visa for Laos?

Most travelers need a 30-day single-entry tourist visa. You can apply online for an e-visa, buy a visa on arrival at major airports and some border crossings, or apply at a Lao embassy. Fees are roughly 30 to 50 USD depending on your nationality and how you apply, and visas on arrival are paid in cash. The stay can be extended in Laos for a daily fee. Rules vary by passport, so confirm yours before booking flights.

7. When is the best time to visit Laos?

November to early March is the best window for most of the country, with cool, dry, sunny weather. March to May is hot, reaching 35°C or more in the north. The rainy season, from about May to October, turns the countryside green, fills the waterfalls, raises the Mekong for boat trips and brings fewer visitors, with rain mostly in the late afternoon or at night. See our best time to visit Laos guide.

8. How many days do I need in Laos?

Five days covers Luang Prabang and Vientiane, and seven days adds Vang Vieng. Ten to fourteen days lets you add the south, with Pakse, the Bolaven Plateau and the 4000 Islands, or the northern route through Muang Sing and the Mekong via Houei Xay and Pakbeng. Distances are long, so we build itineraries around fewer, longer stays. For a first trip with limited time, 3 to 6 days works for the main highlights.

It’s our first time in Vietnam, and from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a warmth that we will never forget. This trip has been wonderful, especially on an emotional and human level. We met people with extraordinary kindness and sincerity, and that is what we will carry most dearly in our hearts from Vietnam. 😍 Throughout our journey, we met some fantastic guides: Hay in Hanoi, Lap in Bac Ha and Sapa, which became one of our favorite places, and Lan in Hoi An. Each of them helped us discover something special about Vietnam: its history, culture, heritage, and everyday life.
