Where is the best place to stay in Laos?

Luang Prabang is arguably one of the most popular destinations in Laos and offers some of the best hotels and resorts in the country. Vientiane is another great option that provides plenty of accommodation choices for all budgets, as well as some excellent dining options. The popular city of Vang Vieng is a great place to stay for those looking for adventure, with its stunning karst landscapes and outdoor activities like rock climbing and kayaking.

How long can you stay in Laos?

Tourist visas on arrival are available at certain ports of entry, and these temporary permits typically allow a visitor to spend 30 days in the country. Visitors can extend their visa up to an additional 60 days through the Department of Immigration (the extension of a 30-day tourist visa is permitted for an additional 30 days only two times — making for a total maximum stay of 90 days).
