Packing List

by jose_a_juan

You don’t really need to bring every thing in your bag. In the Supermarkets you can find essential staff and there are very good markets all over the country. Where you can bay clouts, souvenirs and food. Hiking Old woman working at the Talaat Khua Din (Market).

Photo for Visa

by aukjejetty

Visa needed, requiring passport and two two-inch photos, valid for one month, cost US$30 and taking approx. 3 days to process. Visa on arrival also available at Friendship Bridge, Vientiane and Luang Prabang airports as well as Chong Mek. (Entry formalities are likely to be relaxed further as tourism expands, so check with the nearest Lao embassy for latest information).

Packing List

Inexperienced travelers take note:Always carry your essential documents -- passports, money, credit cards, and air tickets -- on your person. Under no circumstances should you pack them, whether in your hand luggage or your checked bag. To do so invites disaster.

Bring a flashlight to Laos

by calcaf38

You will need a flashlight in Laos. Night falls early. Roads are dark. And some monuments, like the Pak Ou caves, are very dark!

During Nov, the weather can get rather chilly at night so pack some light sweater or windbreakers. Film is relatively easy to obtain.

Hiking If you are thinking of waiting for the sunset on top of Phousey Hill, just remember to bring along a insect repellent, it will surely do help you and maybe the person sitting next to you.
