Rules in force · 6
  • Laos ↗Get the visa only from the official government e-visa portal or at the airport or border desk; lookalike sites charge extra.
  • Laos ↗Carry Lao kip in small notes; small shops, tuk-tuks and markets are cash-only, and Thai baht or US dollars are only accepted at some tourist businesses.
  • Laos ↗At dawn alms-giving, watch from across the street, keep quiet, never use flash and never touch a monk.
  • Northern Laos ↗Roughly Feb–Apr the north is hazy from crop burning: check the air quality before you book a viewpoint or a long day trip.
  • Luang Prabang ↗The old town goes quiet from about 23:00 and many guesthouses lock their door for the night: tell your hotel your arrival time and ask how to ring for the night staff.
  • Luang Prabang ↗Dawn alms-giving is a religious act, not a show: stay on the far side of the street, keep quiet, no flash and no touching.
