Lao's history can be traced back to the 14th century when the Kingdom of Lan Xang ruled until the 18th century when it split into three kingdoms: Luang, Phraban, Vientiane, and Champasak. In the late 1800s, the French unified these kingdoms into what is known today as Laos. Having been isolated from the world for decades before opening to visitors in the 1990s, Laos is a country with centuries-old traditions, ancient temples, and some of the friendliest people in Southeast Asia.
Perhaps the most famous image of Laos is the sight of long lines of monks in orange robes silently collecting alms on the quiet streets of Luang Prabang early in the morning. But Laos has much more to offer beyond this. There is Vang Vieng, a town dubbed a paradise for backpackers; the mystery of the Plain of Jars; and forests that cover a substantial part of the Mekong Basin in Laos. The forests of the Greater Mekong are some of the most biologically diverse places on Earth.
Laos has a population of over 7.5 million, consisting of forty-nine ethnic groups whose lifestyles are preserved and available to be admired by visitors.
