Despite the fact that most travellers might already be aware or would have guessed that Laos culture is different from Western and other Asian cultures, some visitors to Laos are often frustrated and surprised by the extent of the differences.
I hope the information on this page is useful and can (to some extent) help you prepare yourself for your cultural adventure. I believe that the more you learn and become aware of the Laos culture and the differences the better you will be able to cope as you travel or live in Laos.
