Travel Advice To Laos

A Visa is required to enter Laos and this should be applied for at least 5 working days prior to departure. However, it is now also possible to collect visas on arrival at Vientiane International Airport, Luang Prabang International Airport and the Friendship Bridge between Laos and Thailand without prior authorisation. This costs 75AUD for single entry or 90AUD for double entry and requires the filling in of an application form and one passport size photo.

The airport tax in Laos for International Flights is 10USD and Domestic Flights is 1USD.

Offices and museums are usually open from Monday to Friday from 8:00am until 4:00pm and often close for lunch between 12:00am and 2:00pm. Shops open from Monday to Saturday between 9:00am and 5:00pm and some also open on Sunday.
Laos has a nationwide curfew of 12am so try to avoid going out or travel

4000 Islands Laos

4000 islands laos="4000 islands laos"
Getting to Northern Laos from Pnomh Penh?

Hi,
I'm looking to travel from North to South Laos- I know it would make more sense to get to South Laos overland from Cambodia but want to do the 4000 islands last and am booking the Gibbon Experience for my first few days. So far it seems the easiest way is to fly to Vientiane and then overland it but i'm trying not to fly too much while I'm here! Does anyone know a cheap and vaguely convenient way of doing this? I can travel from another part of Cambodia if necessary!
Secondly (sorry- being v.indecisive currently!) how long is a good amount of time for Laos- i'm budgeting for 3 weeks but want to include the gibbon ex, a few days chilling on the islands and a few days of volunteering where I can. Is 4 weeks more realistic?
Cheers!
Georgie

The roads in Cambodia and Laos are pretty bad and buses breakdown all the time. You might consider a flight from Phenom Phenn to Luang Prabang $226 one way. You better check visa at the border is only two weeks so you have to have one at the Embassy. I don't know your complete itinerary but you can take the train from HCMC in Vietnam to Hue, Dong Ha or Hanoi and cross of from Vietnam into Northern Laos

How safe is Laos to go to visit or live in?

Not much on the net about it

I've been to Laos of a number of times. Like any country in Asia, if you stick to the tourists trail you'll be fine. The people are friendly and accomodating. However, out of the view of tourists, the country is completley different. As a nation Laos is very poor. With a high population and a underdeveloped economy. Most of the country live in slums and make shift shacks across the country. Crime rates are high, but no more than in the UK. In General Laos is a wonderful country full of oppertunites and adventure. If you went I would guarentee you'd be safe and face no problems. Just remember, respect the locals how you'd like to respected yourself, manners go a long way.

Places To Visit In Laos

places to visit in laos="places to visit in laos"
looking for travel tips and places to visit while in thai vietnam cambodia and laos..?

travelling tips? I'm cambo and i've been to cambo about 4 times.

Preparation:
Get some injections for Malaria, Hepatitis etc. Ask your doctor for details
Learn some of their language, trust me those guys have awful english...

What to bring:
Insect Repellent, if your like me you can score about 12 mosquito bites in like 2 days ><
Sunscreen (a little obvious)
Extra money, you will find a lot of beggars, especially any place with lots of tourists.
A face mask, it's very dusty, especially when your on a bike

Tips:
When your travelling around Asia, especially Thai, Cambo and Viet. The best way is to get motorbike, cars get stuck in travel HEAPS and its normally the motorbikes that mange to weave through. Otherwise you can get a "thounk thounk" (sorry) it's like a horse carriage except you it's a motorbike at the front.

DONT eat the food off the streets, it can be really unhygienic sometimes. You'll find people shoving food into your faces to eat but just kindly reject it

Keep your bags with you at all times. I've seen bag snatchers, it's very common...

Be careful with what you wear, unless you're like western. If your asian you wear revealing stuff and heaps of make-up, they mistake you for a prostitute.

As bad as this sounds, you can bribe police >< yeah i know but it's true

Don't go to brothels, please I'm so against child sex tourism and it's illegal in cambodia. You have no idea how hard it is for the girls and you'll have a very high chance of getting HIV

Places to visit:
Angkor Wat: it's located in Siem Reap and the place it beautiful. There are a heck of a lot of tourists there. It's a lot more cleaner than Phnom Penh and you'll learn a lot about cambodian culture

Koh Kong: it's a good place to visit and i've heard that it's really nice there but the road there is dangerous. Around last year a cambodian famous actor died because the bus capsized.

Battambang: I heard this place is good for a nightlife, well at least according to my dad who loves karaoke

Sihanouk Ville: Locals in Cambodia will still call it Kampong Som. Highly recommended!!! Beaches are sparkling, there are lots of tourists around and it's quite safe to walk around at night. There are lots of international restaurants too. Visit the snake house while your there, it's excellent, there are lots of scary snakes and you can even dine there. Also, if you do get a chance, go to one of the nearby islands, the water is even more beautiful.

Phnom Penh: Yeah, thats the capital. It's dusty, dirty and filled with busy traffic. There are some beautiful places. The royal palace has a lot of culture ad history, unfortunately some of the antiques were stolen. It's called "Viang" by cambodians are it's located near the river.

Sorya (Phnom Penh): This is probably the closest thing you'll find to western shops, they have a Lucky Market that sells some western food. Try Swesens (an american ice cream brand) its really good and try the Pizza Company. It's italian food and it tastes soo good and the place is real clean.

Just a word of advice though: Cambodia and Thai are going through war so it may be hard to get from Thai to Cambodia.

Vientiane, Laos

The New Silk Route An Early Inspiration

The colours of designers work inspired a young boy in childhood dreams, across the treeless plain, the desert sands with family and possessions, wrenched from the arms of beloved friends, cast nightmarishly into a strange land, a strange town, where men wore Bermuda shorts, knee high socks, short sleeved white shirts with crisp collars. Striped ties, Trilby hats and brief cases anchored to hands; Standard dress requirements, up and down the Terrace they marched on and off the production line, in searing heat, in cold wind and rain, in dark and light, morning, noon and night.

Never in life to wear such uniform I swore, never in life to conform to standard dress requirements I swore, trouble or no trouble. Never in life would age determine style I swore, never in life would I dress to please others before I pleased myself I swore. So began a life of swearing, (I know all the words but no longer use them), of non conforming, but from a base of principles as passed on by Mom and Dad, these, and, a will to conquer with in and with out, put teachers, bosses, family, friends, enemies and work mates to the test, to the brink of insanity. The rebel, the radical, quick witted, do it my way, wild imagining kid did it all, but even in the criminal years maintained a life of virtues, “honesty is the best policy”, “manners make man”, “cleanliness is next to godliness”, a gentleman in the making, but a gentleman as defined by principles, not a door opener alone.

Principles strengthened with age and wisdom became most vocal. A word materialized in the regimental discipline applied to virtues and practiced every day, and reflected upon at the end of the day, and reminded at the beginning of the day. And in the quiet moments at work a conscious reminder of my foundation, never to be undermined. When just a boy, a dream is a compass to follow, a glint of hope, a ray of light guiding through the traumas of adolescence, realizing life and what lay ahead. The girls winking eyes, the  innocent warmth of teenage love and the first kisses from warm wet lips, the frolics in long grass down by the river side, the secrets, the trouble, the heartbreaks, the inspiration.

Never in life to live in the past I swore, but to learn from it and plan better in the future, a journey to improve, succeed where failed, to win where lost, to gamble less and learn more, to understand, to be inspired.

All of these things gathered in travels become inspirational to life, in deliverance to fashion design for me, an intangible map embryonic to the fruition of goals, but not without devastating failures along the way too.

The black swan, Emu Bitter, Swan Lager, Swan River, Swan taxis, meat pies, Polony sandwiches, picnics at Leighton. The colours of Western beach sands and aqua waters, turned against the stark coastal plains across and Purple hills to the east. Millions of scenes, illusions, emotional highs and lows like snap shots etched into memory cells and recalled to inspire a desire to design, eclipse the past into an explosion of colour, dispelling the grays and blacks of sorrow, making worth of all the growing years, every experience a chance to learn and be inspired.

The decades removed from familiar shores.

On course to a life of non conformances: on this word, it seemed quite ironic that on a varied career path I was introduced to the concept of Quality Assurance (QA), which, in essence, documents non conformances in management processes and manufacturing etc a strategy for continuous improvement. In this unusual position I was logging things that did not conform. I was beating myself over the head with a stick; fortunately involvement in this mundane task was short lived. However the essential elements of value processes (QA) were well learned by me. Any weak link in a series of functions will impact back and forth. In the service industry it results effect at the point of sale (The customer). This must be diligently, consistently avoided because service is the first creation the product second.

There was a slight detour: A discovery made in 1968; The House of Tarvedus in Plaza Arcade, original and funky, the fruition of my love for colour, a way to individualize and live by all my swearing. There exhibited, Canary yellow crepe cotton shirts, tapered in the body, with balloon sleeves and Nehru collar; silver grey satin shirts with ruffle down the front just for the Dandy man; multi coloured shirts with white French collars and elaborate white French cuffs. Fabulous flairs, grossly exaggerated, flap down fronts with three buttons on each side. And then there were the coats and jackets, and the strings of love beads.

I was the peacock and this my plumage, women were attracted and men envious, but men found it easier and more satisfying to foster this state of mind rather than change and dress up for the girls pleasure, still the standard dress ruled the way. They remained more concerned about rebukes and condemnations from mates and less akin to the opposite gender. This strengthened my resolve to avert standard dress; so, I donned love beads, they worked like a magnet and were gifted randomly and won love but mostly for a single night, some times a week and far less times for a few months.

Advancing to more sophisticated plumage, the love beads made way for vivid silk ties, balloon sleeves were reincarnated as French cuffs adorned with timeless pieces of miniature jewellery (cufflinks). The Nehru collar for the French collar, and, then came the suit, standard as it is, but to avert standard dress; the tie, vivid, expression ate, a statement of individuality, rebellion, the epitome of male self expression, this is not standard dress.

But at the end of the day, the sun sets, the colours shine through, they rein true; a fervent quest to avoid standard dress (requirements)? What is required?

It is not so much living in the past, it is how you flavour it in the present, bitter or sweet; my past was very colourful in every aspect of the word; these intangibles are now materialized in the designs I create and produce, colourful, sweet and cheerful, par for the essence; ingredients of life.

So to bring the past to fruition sweetly a new silk route in the creation, from England, Italy,  Korea, Laos, China to Australia to the wider world; Bow ties, Silk ties, pocket squares representing all the finer things that men wear as plumage. I carry on the tradition of averting standard dress modestly and humbly.

is 800 USD enough money for 3 weeks of traveling in cambodia laos and vietnam?

my 4 friends and i are going to backback through these 3 countries. we are going to use busses and trains as a mode of transportation. we are not oging to do tours or expecting fancy meals.

if you just eat hawker food(stay away from restaurants, because they are more expensive). travel on buses and trains, not in cabs or rental cars. don't be so fussy where you stay as long as it has a bed and is clean with atleast a ceiling fan if not air conditioning. be careful of the local people because they will attemp to charge you more $ for things because they think you have alot of money being a foriengner.learn what things cost in each country and try to make a friend or 2 on line before you go if possible(someone to show you around). if you can take all these things into concideration and depending on how long you are staying, $800 should do you.

Thailand Holidays Offer Adventure, History, and Stunning Beaches

Thailand is known for its magnificent scenery, hospitality, historic monuments and heritage that go back thousands of years. A visit to this unique country will leave you wanting repeat Thailand holidays.

Thailand has a little to offer everybody. North Thailand boasts trekking, hiking, mountain tribes and ethnic communities with colorful dress and completely unique customs and culture. The East of Thailand has outstanding islands and beaches ("The Beach" was filmed here) and water sporting activities like para-gliding and snorkelling. South Thailand presents even more breathtaking beach locations (such as Phuket and Koh Samui), waterfalls, water sports like snorkelling, kayaking and beach celebrations that continue for three days. In West Thailand you are able to view elephants, tiger temples and also the renowned "bridge over the river Kwai." Central Thailand offers the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, with extravagant night-life, plazas, shopping centers and thousand year old temples.

Typically the local climate in Thailand is mainly tropical, having a mean annual temperature of 28° C. It's normally quite hot in the Central Plains and South but cooler in the North, for example Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai where tourists to the Kingdom can cool off. When you prefer a cooler time period to visit the very best time is November to March when the days are typically dry and the humidity reduced, though the island Koh Samui is best seen from June to September.

Thailand´s rich heritage has been influenced by Cambodia, Laos, China, Burma and from the rest of Southeast Asia. Thailand's domestic religion is Theravada Buddhism and has become central to modern day Thai identity. The Buddhist religious lifestyle in Thailand has stayed almost unchanged for centuries and many Thais honor and respect it. This way of life may be seen every day from the floating markets, to the meditation and religious ceremonies. The peaceful and calm nature of the Thais means that you will be given the warmest of welcomes and be left wanting a lot more Thailand holidays.

Thailand is quite accommodating for British residents. It will take approximately fifteen hours on a primary flight from the United kingdom. Quite a few Thais speak English with major street signs in English and Thai. You do not have to have inoculations for your Thailand holidays, nevertheless precautions to prevent hepatitis, malaria and also typhoid are advised if you are venturing to Northern Thailand or close towards the borders of the Mekhong regions. Foreign currency exchange rates are favorable and prices are cheap, with a really good meal in a romantic setting costing around eight to ten pounds for two people.

Thailand is known as "The Land of Smiles." For your upcoming vacation, kick back and rest on one of the many stunning, warm beaches Thailand has to provide.

The Fabulous Beaches of Rocky Point, Mexico

It's all about beaches and ocean in Puerto Peñasco. Sandy beaches, rocky beaches, beaches for swimming, shelling or just bumming around. There is wind surfing, fishing, sailing, or jet skiing, and tide pools to explore when the tide is out. With miles of beaches available stretching from northwest to southeast of the town, whatever you want from a beach you can find here.

Note that in Mexico all beaches are are, by law, open to the public. Along the beaches of Rocky Point there are rarely any lifeguards available, so although the water is generally very safe for swimming, do take reasonable precautions. The best swimming is from May through October, as it is generally too cold for swimming during the winter months. And remember: all vehicles are prohibited on the beaches of Puerto Penasco.

You will find many references to beaches in the region as being "west" or "east" due to the way the land curves away as you head south. For instance, Playa Encanto and Playa La Jolla might be described as "Eastern beaches" while Sandy Beach is a "Western beach". I find that somewhat confusing, though, so in case it confuses you, too, I will be describing the beaches as going from north to south, as indeed they ultimately do. To the right is a Google-earth satellite view showing the general lay of the land.

I'll start this description of Rocky Point's beaches at the northern end with Pelican Beach and head south as far as Playa San Jorge.

Pelican Beach: Beginning north of town are the beaches fronting the Laguna Shores and Laguna del Mar developments, which are located along the curve of Cholla Bay. These 2 masterplanned developments share a pristine estuary teeming with wildlife-- bring your binoculars and camera! (Future plans for this area also include the Laguna del Sol and Marina Real communities.) Part of the larger Estero La Cholla (pictured at the top of this post), you are encouraged to help keep this estuary as clean and pristine as it is today. You know: "Take only pictures and leave only footprints". Pelican Beach (so called because of the number of brown pelicans that hang out in the area) is located near the bottom edge of Laguna del Mar. It is a good place to go clamming or crabbing. This lovely stretch of beach curves to the southwest until it reaches the little jut of land where the La Cholla community is found. From the main highway north out of town, take the clearly marked turn off going to Laguna Shores/Laguna del Mar.

La Cholla (sometimes spelled La Choya): La Cholla is the oldest established foreigner-dominated enclave in the area. Set at the end of a little peninsula that juts like a finger into the Sea of Cortez at the southern end of Cholla Bay and Laguna del Mar, there is not much in the way of sandy beaches here. Probably the best one is called Tucson Beach. Though small, Tucson Beach offers calm water for wading and swimming when the tide is in. It also affords easy launching and retrieval of watercraft if you happen to be living or renting in the area and have a boat.

This peninsula is often called Pelican Point. Its rocky shores are part of a submerged 15-mile reef, and when the tide goes out it goes waaaay out! This is an advantage, however, for anyone who loves to explore tide pools, and due to the prevailing on-shore winds and shallow water it is excellent for kite sailing. This is also a great fishing spot for red snapper, whitefish, halibut, gold spotted bass and black sea bass! Don't count it out.

Sandy Beach (Playa Arenosa): At the southern edge of the La Cholla peninsula begins the miles-long sweep of Sandy Beach. The construction along its edges (Sandy Beach Resorts) is the first thing you see when approaching town; you can see the highrise condos from 10 to 15 miles out. There are a lot of activities available at this beautiful beach area, including swimming, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, water skiing, parasailing, jet skiing, surfing, fishing, clamming, or just basking in the sunshine. The crescent-shaped beach has miles of largely undisturbed sand dunes flowing inland. At its southern end it merges into Playa Bonita, and the two areas share many attributes.

Playa Bonita/Playa Hermosa: Playa Bonita/Playa Hermosa sweeps from the bottom of Sandy Beach in a great arc southward to the Peñasco del Sol resort area of downtown and is the main beachfront for that area. Technically an extension of Sandy Beach, this beautiful stretch of beach is loved by both locals and visitors, with easy access throughout most of its length. When the tide is very low the seaweed, rocks and tide pools are exposed. This provides a perfect time to explore the pools for the strange and wonderful variety of marine creatures that live there. Kids of all ages love this, but do be careful what you touch.

At the northern end of this beach you will find the well-established Playa Bonita and Laos Mar hotels. Anchoring its southern end, as already mentioned, is the Peñasco del Sol (formerly Plaza Las Glorias). Within walking distance of the Peñasco del Sol are many shops and restaurants, which makes this a very popular location. On a busy day, parking anywhere near it can be challenging. This is also where the rocky area of the beach that circles most of the town begins.

Mirador Beach: Located right around the corner from Old Port's Malecon, this is the closest beach to the oldest parts of downtown Rocky Point. Comprised of both sandy and rocky shores, it is only about three blocks south of the Peñasco del Sol. Besides having the advantage of an excellent beach and superior tide pooling when the tide is out, this area is home to many of the town's favorite night spots such as Manny's, Pink Cadillac, the Pithaya, and Baja Cantina. Mirador is Spring Break country, the center of action for partying for the young crowd every spring. The process of sprucing up the Mirador area is well underway, with upscale mixed use development planned for the area.

Las Conchas: Las Conchas is a 6-mile-long straight stretch of beautiful, pristine beaches with low bluffs and big sand dunes punctuating its length. Located along the northwestern shores of the Morua Estuary, this beach is mostly sandy and shallow; you can walk way out in many places even when the tide is not out. Excellent for shore fishing and shelling (and star gazing at night).

Playa La Jolla: Located at the East Beach development area, about 15 minutes south of town by car and separated from Las Conchas' beach by the mouth to the Morua Estuary. Playa La Jolla offers a perfect place to take in the sun, go for a walk, collect shells and enjoy the scenery and serenity. While close to town, it is not uncommon to find yourself almost alone on this beautiful beach. The beach here is wide, sandy, and rock free.

Playa Encanto: Ditto Playa La Jolla, which essentially shares the same beach with La Jolla, and you already know what this beach area is all about. Both are excellent for shelling, so bring along a baggie to save your treasure in.

NORTH BEACH: North Beach is a development area that has been very controversial for a decade, and the controversy continues to this day. You can find out more about the real estate debacles there via Google, but for our purposes I will say only that the beaches are outstanding. Playa Dorada and Playa Miramar are two of the beaches/developments in this area.

Playa Dorada: Playa Dorada is almost a 30 minute drive from town. Like most of the beaches in the area it is wide, sandy, and covered in shells-- some of them HUGE. If you like deserted beaches and quiet, you can't go wrong with Playa Dorada.

Playa Miramar: Ditto Playa Miramar, just below Playa Dorada and sharing all of the latter's attributes.

Mayan Palace: Located in the La Pinta Estuary, at kilometer 24 along the Peñasco – Caborca highway (a 30 to 40 minute drive), this massive resort development has about 2 miles of unspoiled beachfront. Located along the La Pinta Estuary, this place is an ecological haven for marine creatures and birds and has excellent shelling. On the southeastern part of the beach, about a mile from the resort, many sea creatures can be found during low tide, along with huge, hand-sized shells. The sand is also great for building sand castles.

Playa San Jorge: Just across the bay from the new Mayan Palace Resort, where the land curves more toward the south, is the San Jorge Estuary, with beaches that rival those of its neighbor. Though there is some development in the area, if you make it all the way down to Playa San Jorge you can be assured of isolation, if that is what you desire. Bring your own shade, water and plenty of sunscreen. And don't forget your binoculars (for bird and critter watching) and camera. This is what beaches are all about.

And there you have it. Enjoy the fabulous beaches of Rocky Point, Mexico!

The Asian Way: Chinatown Los Angeles

Tourists who visit Los Angeles should make it a point to go to Chinatown which is ideally found near the Union Station.. Union Station is popularly called the "Last of the Great Railway Stations" in America. In the 1880's, the Old Chinatown was located in the center of Alameda and Macy Streets. Settlers from China populated the area back then. The settlers from China were however not allowed to apply for US citizenship and were barred from owning properties. The Chinese settlers were anxious with their situation and the selling and reselling of properties which damaged business in the area and eventually lead to the construction of the Union Station.

However, a new Chinatown Los Angeles arose in the 1930's when the Chinese-American community innovator Peter Soo Hoo, Sr. made the thought of collective neighborhood plans, which had both Chinese and American Architecture. This gave a rebirth for the Chinese community to express their traditions, architectural mastery, art, beliefs, merchandise, and delicacies. This was also the beginning of Chinatown Los Angeles which would soon become a popular Southern California tourist attraction.

Hot spots in Chinatown Los Angeles include: The Central Plaza referred to as the "Gate of the Filial Piety" and is the first one to be a part of modern day American Chinatown. It features a statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen who was the founder of the Republic of China. Additionally, it has got the five-tiered pagoda, a wishing well over 70 years old; Phoenix Bakery known as the largest and earliest bakery making the citywide popular strawberry whipped cream cakes; Little Joe's restaurant which is a reminder of the large Italian populace that also once resided in Chinatown of Los Angeles.

Yet another tourist spot in Chinatown Los Angeles would be the Chinese American Museum situated in the Garnier Building, that was once a residence and meeting spot for Chinese immigrants. It contains the physical and cultural ties of a long past history and diverse forthcoming future. Located in close proximity to Chinatown you will find numerous Los Angeles Hotels where visiting guests can find reasonable and comfortable accommodations. Visitors also can visit iStayGreen.org which is a directory of Environmentally friendly hotels when trying to locate lodging in the area nearby.

The Taoist Temple was regarded as the most wonderful of its kind and which is commonly regarded as the central part of the immigrant community of Chinatown Los Angeles. The worshippers of the temple pray by lighting incense and also providing fruits and vegetables and which are then subsequently donated as food to the poor.

Wing Hop Fung Ginseng may be the largest store not only of conventional medical products, but also of teas, herbs, dried goods, liquor, products of pottery, gifts from the Orient, Chinese traditional clothing, decorations for festivals, etc.. This makes it a one stop shop to a lot of people who visit Chinatown in Los Angeles.

A number of stalls, shops, bazaars may also be discovered and has long been loved by the tourists who visit Chinatown in Los Angeles. Individuals who come and go to the place will generally find time to browse around as it is a great place to buy cheaply priced garments, toys and games, jewelries, accessories, souvenirs, herbal supplements. A frequent delight is the food with authentic Asian taste because the merchants are composed of not only the Chinese people but also of the new ethnic immigrants from Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

When ever going to Los Angeles California be sure that you make the effort to visit Chinatown . . . you will discover it to be among the best parts of your tour!
