内容説明・目次
内容説明
Laos has been effectively cut off to the casual visitor since the 1960s. Embroiled in the conflict in Vietnam, divided by civil war, and then isolated by its economic and political policies, Laos only recently began to accept the concept of "independent" travel. Although few make it to this land-locked corner of Asia, its Theravada Buddist culture, pristine countryside, and French influence make it one of the great treasures of the region. Travel may not be easy, the sights may not conform to most people's idea of a tourist destination, but Laos remains a truly unique and delightful place to visit. This comprehensive handbook contains information on where to get a visa and how to get into the country, as well as practical information for both the independent traveller and the visitor on a tour.
It includes: full coverage of all the entry points from Thailand into Laos such as at Nong Khai on the Mekong River and via the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge; a comprehensive section on Bangkok in Thailand, the best place to obtain visas and the starting point for most trips to Laos; information on where to stay, where and what to eat; and details of festivals such as New Year, celebrated four times a year, and local festivals.
