Laos
Content Creator: torresani_filippo
Favourite destination in Laos?
"I’m truly in love with the North as I’m a big hiking lover… The treks are just unreal; jungles, local communities, and waterfalls. "
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Favourite time of year to visit Laos
"October to April, when the weather is warm and dry. "
For the most adventurous...
"The Takkhek Loop, a 5-day motorbike loop between the Laotian mountains. It's very similar to the famous Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam... The scenery will leave you speechless! "
@torresani_filippo's Top Tips
"I’ve spent over 3 months in Laos and totally loved my time there. It’s probably one of the most authentic and untouched countries in Asia. Don’t rush, enjoy your time there and make the most of it."
What’s Van Vieng famous for?
"The 6 blue lagoons. My favourite one is number 3, always less crowded and a bit far from the town centre. The water is crystal blue!"
Laos’ hidden gem...
"The island of Don Det, right at the border with Cambodia. One of the most relaxed and slow-paced places I’ve been to! Sunsets here are unreal!"
Favourite thing to do in Luan Prabang?
"Definitely Wat Hopping! Luang Prabang has a temple literally every 500m, you can spend a week there and not get bored… And they are stunning!"
A unique experience to do in Laos?
"Did you even know Laos has the highest tree house in the world? I’ve spent a night there, right on top of the jungle and let me tell you… my inner child was happier than ever! "
Fun fact about Laos...
"Every time a friend or family member is leaving for a trip people bless them and wish them good luck by tying a bracelet on each wrist!"

@tiffanyswindow's Top Tips
"When riding your own bike, be vigilant of the locals and animals that walk in your pathway. Be careful not to ride fast on winding roads!"
Favourite time of year to visit Hà Giang
"We went during Autumn in April, and the weather was warm and a bit cool in the evening. I heard the best time to go is between September and November, during springtime. "
What else can you do in Hà Giang?
"There are many waterfalls to explore, as well as caves. Ask your tour guide or go explore yourself!"
What do you love most about Hà Giang?
"Mountains, canyons, waterfalls, caves, winding roads and villages in the distance, fresh air, nature, the friendly locals - can it get any better?"
@tiffanyswindow's Top Tips
"Carry lightly and always have extra clothes as the weather can be unpredictable! Carry a mask with you as you can get stuck behind buses or cars. Smaller group tours are better! Take your time :)"
