Laos

Laos is famous for its natural beauty, and we knew this was the place to go trekking and experience a homestay! What followed were two days of breathtaking scenery, arduous trekking and welcoming villagers – a highlight of our trip so far!

Probably our most unique border crossing to date, we decided to spend two days sailing down the Mekong River as we crossed from Northern Thailand into Laos!

“Fill this plate with as much food as you can! All for one set price!” one eager chef barks. Across from him an energetic old lady is currently grilling whole fish, which for a small add on charge is yours to have…welcome to Luang Prabang!
