Laos is a beautiful country, and it is packed full of things to see and do for tourists that will ensure they have a magical time when they visit. Laos is a less-visited country than some of its neighbours, but that does not mean this small landlocked country has nothing to offer. Below are some tips to help you book your holiday in Laos to ensure you go home with fantastic memories and many brilliant Instagram worth photos.
Choose When To Visit
In Europe, many people will go on holiday during the summer months, but this may not be the best time to visit Laos. The most popular months for tourists are between October and April, when the weather is hot and dry, and it is the peak season for tourists. It is the rainy season outside of these months, and although it will be warm, it will often rain for a couple of hours most days. If you are looking for lower prices, travel during the rainy season, and if you want the best weather, then visit during peak season.
