Travelers love Asia. Not only are there so many choices of choice locations, but prices can be almost embarrassingly low. Depending on where you go, you might have the place to yourself, or simply be one of the crowd. Either way, you win. But, here we focus on Laos, a destination that sometimes doesn’t get its place in the sun, and that’s a shame. You should make a bee-line for Laos, and here’s why. First of all, Laos offers a range of budget accommodation options, including guesthouses, hostels, and budget hotels, which are much cheaper compared to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. Also, the overall cost of living in Laos is relatively low compared to many other countries, meaning you’ll find cheaper prices for meals, transportation, and activities.
And, as you travel, you’ll find that many of Laos’s attractions, such as temples, markets, and natural sites like waterfalls and hiking trails, are either free or have very low entrance fees, allowing travelers to enjoy their time without spending much money.
But, if you really want to save some cash, watch the video below. This is not for the squeamish, as it’s a 2-Day Journey from Laos to Bangkok via bus. But, the money you save compared to other means of travel may just override the “inconveniences”. Even better, you will experience Laos as the natives do, rather than sequestering yourself in a cocoon: that’s not really travel, is it. The video below gives you all you need to know to break on through to another style of travel. Go with the natives: they know what’s what. You very likely will make new friends along the way.
