2 hours behind Korea
The only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. Luang Prabang’s temples and the river scenery at Vang Vieng lead most itineraries, and the new railway to China has changed how people move.
Entry & visa
30 days visa-free for tourism. If crossing by land, check the border post’s opening hours first.
Worth knowing
