During my extended travels in South-East Asia, I absolutely fell in love with Laos.
It took me a really long time to get there, and I’m actually really upset with myself that I hadn’t visited earlier.
I honestly have no idea why I waited for so long, but now that I now — I’m always telling people about how amazing Laos is.

Hi Jones,
Phenomenal images! I’m floored by all of them. We rushed way too quickly thru Laos – rare for us as we slow travel it – and missed so much in this small but beautiful country. I do recall the towering mountains surrounding us as we bused from the capital to Luang Prubang and VV; it was epic. Some of the prettiest scenery ever, that I’ve seen. I also remember seeing an internet cafe in a remote area. And yes, people were on Facebook, chatting away.

Thanks Ryan! Yeah, Laos is unreal! I felt kinda rushed through the country only having around 2.5 weeks there. Next time I’m backpacking around South-East Asia I’m definitely going to be spending a lot more time in Laos. I think it’s one of the most underrated travel destinations in the world. : )
I visited Laos a couple of years ago and loved it! The scenery in some parts is stunning – there is great rock climbing too.
Ah I never got to do any climbing, but I’m definitely keen to go back for another trip in Laos! I had the absolute best time there! :-) Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
