| This second edition of The Rough Guide to Laos is the most comprehensive handbook to one of Southeast Asia's lesser known but rapidly emerging destinations. Features include detailed coverage of all the sights, from the Buddhist temples of Louang Phabang to the French colonial architecture of Vientiane, Laos’ capital. We’ve also got up-to-the-minute listings of the best places to eat and stay, detailed and practical guidance on exploring the remote northern hill villages, navigating the Mekong River and elephant-back trekking in the jungle. Last but not least, our Contexts section has lively and informed accounts of Laos's history, culture, ethnic minorities and wildlife. |
