LAOS
Country Overview:
"Laos, a hidden gem nestled amidst its Southeast Asian neighbors, offers a unique cultural tapestry and serene landscapes that compensate for its lack of beaches."
My time in Laos was nothing short of delightful. While it may lack the coastal allure of other Southeast Asian destinations, Vientiane, the capital, charmed me with its laid-back atmosphere, distinct cultural traditions, and delectable cuisine. Though a week might suffice to explore its highlights, Laos unveils a treasure trove of experiences for those willing to venture beyond the well-trodden path. From ancient temples that dot the landscape to serene countryside vistas, Laos rewards the curious traveler with a tranquil and enriching journey.

This is Vientiane, Laos. Pha That Luang is a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa in the center of the city of Vientiane, Laos. Since its initial establishment, the stupa has undergone several reconstructions as recently as the 1930s due to foreign invasions of the area. It is generally regarded as the most important national monument in Laos and a national symbol.
