When traveling to Laos, you must bring your visa, cash, long pants and long sleeves, etc.

Personally, I prefer to travel freely so that I can have more fun. Of course, if you are not confident about yourself and your safety, it is also good to join a group tour. This doesn't have much impact, but there are some taboos and things to pay attention to that you must know. Generally, when going to Laos, you will choose to take the land route, so that you can see more scenery. When taking the land route, you usually leave the country from the Yunnan port, and then follow routes such as Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, and Vientiane. After all, Laos says It doesn't look particularly big.

Bring your visa. You can find some merchants on Taobao that specialize in applying for these visas. Just send your passport and photos, which costs about 100 yuan. Or you can apply for a visa on arrival at the airport or land port. The cost is about 20 US dollars. The length of stay is 30 days. You can apply for it with your passport. (The remaining validity period needs to be more than 6 months), you can get it immediately.

Laos has a tropical and subtropical monsoon climate, which is generally divided into rainy season and dry season. The best time to travel is from November to February. There is less rain and it is not too hot. It will be hotter if you go later, so it is not recommended. .

Bring cash. It is best to exchange after passing through the border. The exchange rate at domestic airports is always lower. Credit cards can only be used in popular tourist towns such as Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane in Laos. There are not many ATM machines, and you have to pay a certain handling fee. Therefore, it is necessary to bring a certain amount of cash. Especially now that China is so accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat, we cannot forget it.

Pay attention to etiquette issues. Laos is a Buddhist country, so it attaches great importance to the etiquette of temples and monks. When entering a temple, be sure to dress neatly. Your upper body should not expose your shoulders and navel, and your lower body should not be exposed above the knees. So it’s best to bring some long sleeves and long pants.

You must take off your shoes when entering the main hall. Be respectful in front of Buddha statues and do not touch them casually. This is particularly important for Chinese tourists. After all, many Chinese people think they are at home after going out and do not pay any attention to the impact. Also, please ask permission before taking photos with monks and be careful to keep your distance.
