What currency does Laos use?

The official currency is the Lao kip (LAK), but US dollars and Thai baht are also widely accepted.

When is the best time to visit Laos?

November to March is the sweet spot - cooler, drier, and perfect for river cruises, temple hopping, and jungle adventures without sweating buckets.

What is the weather like in Laos?

Hot and humid most of the year, with a wet season from May to October. Think tropical vibes with surprise rain showers - pack accordingly.

Do I need a visa to travel to Laos?

Most travellers need a visa, but you can usually grab one on arrival or online via eVisa. Always check your country’s requirements before you jet off. Our handy visa guide will help you out with the latest info.

What is ATM access like in Laos?

ATMs are common in big towns and cities, but less so in rural areas. Bring some cash as backup and don’t rely solely on your card. Laos likes to keep it old school.

Do you tip in Laos?

Tipping isn’t expected, but it’s always appreciated. A small gesture for good service goes a long way.

How many days do you need to see Laos?

Give it at least 3-8 days to soak up the temples, waterfalls, caves and laid-back charm.

What should I pack for a trip to Laos?

Light, breathable clothes, a rain jacket, good walking shoes, bug spray, sunscreen, and a respectful outfit for temples (shoulders and knees covered). Oh, and maybe a dry bag. The waterfall days do get wild.

Can you drink tap water in Laos?

It’s recommended that you stick to bottled or filtered water when visiting Laos. Brushing your teeth with tap water is usually okay, but when in doubt, use bottled water.

Is internet access good in Laos?

Wi-Fi is decent in hotels and cafes in major towns. Rural areas? Not so much. Download your playlists and maps in advance just to be safe.

What adaptor do I need for Laos?

Laos uses types A, B, C, E and F plugs - voltage is 230V. A universal adaptor will keep your gear juiced up wherever you are.

Is Laos LGBTQIA+ friendly?

Laos is generally peaceful and tolerant, especially in tourist areas. While public displays of affection (regardless of orientation) are low-key, LGBTQIA+ travellers are welcome. Just be culturally respectful and you’ll be fine.
