Planning a visit to Laos? You can expect to see a ton of interesting things during your trip to Laos such as ancient temples, rice fields, natural parks, Buddhist monks and shrines, as well as enjoy memorable experiences such as cruising the Mekong River.
Within Laos approximately 60-70% of the population are said to be Theravada Buddhists, with the remaining population largely following Animism in the form of spirit (phii) worship.
Pi Mai Lao or Lao New year is the liveliest holiday of the year and one that everyone looks forward to, as it is a time when many people visit their families all over the country.
