WELCOME TO LAOS
Mysterious, landlocked Laos is less developed and less visited than it’s neighbours. A beautiful landscape of misty mountains, rolling hills and historic cities. Luang Prabang is particularly stunning with golden temples and pretty streets.

Little Amy Tours in Laos
Lhai Heua Fai (festival of the lights) celebrates the end of Boun Awk Phansa (Buddhist Lent). It feels like Easter, Christmas and new year all rolled into one. Luang Prabang feels magical and is covered with delicate, handmade lanterns. The last day of the festival fell on my birthday, when hundreds of people flood into the city for the boat competition.
Visited September – November 2016
