Laos Trip

---

This is on my 5th trip to Laos, I visited the cities of Vientiane, Phongsali, Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang, Oudomxai, Phonsavanh several other small villages along the way. Laos is always very hot during any month of the year. Lots of energetic local people always willing to show you the way or to show you the "right" way. Lots of Vegetarian options abound in Laos. You can even order Opium, shrooms, marijuana and other euphoric things in and around Phonsavanh (see photo below). Laos is very, very, very affordable even for the "lowest" of the shoestring backpacker's budget. I've attached several photos below to give you a sample of whats in store for you in The Peoples Dem. Republic of Laos.
