| Laos' isolation from foreign influence offers travellers an unparalleled
glimpse of traditional southeast Asian life. From the fertile lowlands of
the Mekong River valley to the rugged Annamite highlands, Laos is the
highlight of southeast Asia.
This is the least developed and most enigmatic of the three former French Indochinese states. A ruinous sequence of colonial domination, internecine conflict and dogmatic socialism finally brought the country to its knees in the 1970s, and almost 10% of the population left the country. Now, after two decades of isolation from the outside world, this landlocked, sparsely populated country is enjoying peace, stabilizing its political and economic structures, and admitting foreign visitors - albeit in limited numbers, owing to a general lack of infrastructure. |

Although travel in Laos is generally hassle-free, travellers should be
aware of the risk of rural banditry, unexploded ordnance and sporadic
violence in and around Vientiane. Travellers have been inadvertently
targeted in several attacks on buses travelling to and from the capital. Ask around in Vientiane or Luang Prabang to check security before travelling the western portion of Rte 7 in Xieng Khuang Province, between Muang Phu Khun and Phonsavan, or Rte 13 between Vangviang north to Muang Phu Khun through to south of Luang Prabang. Small bombings and attempted bombings in Vientiane continue sporadically. The Saisombun Special Zone, considered a 'troubled' area, is definitely not safe. Permits, required for all visits to the zone, are not being issued. |
