Clothing Laos is an all-year-round destination, it’s generally hot and humid, so you will need light, loose-fitting clothing to keep cool. It does get colder in the evenings so it’s advisable to take a couple of layers. The temperatures also vary depending where you are in the country, as altitudes vary dramatically here. The rainy season is from May to late September, but downpours are generally short lived. Be prepared with a light rain jacket – you won’t need anything too thick, because despite the rain it remains warm. Take comfortable walking shoes as well as sandals, and don’t forget swimsuits if you want to go for a dip in the waterfalls!
Health Always seek medical advice from your doctor or travel nurse before you travel and make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date, especially when travelling to Asia. Remember that your travel insurance may not cover you if you do not have up-to-date vaccinations.
