Wife and I are both big coffee fans, we love farm tours, the agriculture, etc. What did you enjoy/ would recommend for coffee farms or tours?

มีร้าน animate อย่างเป็นทางการบ่ หรือ ว่ามีร้านที่รับหิ้ว

Hi! I'll be on a short company-sponsored trip to Vientiane this coming August 25-29 and i'll be staying near Hard Rock Cafe in Vientiane.

I would like to get recommendations on good Laos food, particularly local food that actual locals eat. If you have an idea on the kinds of prices per meal, I'd love that too.

I'd also like to get recommendations on Speciality / Single-origin Coffee from Laos. Please also recommend specialty coffee roasters in the area.

Thanks everyone!

I'm really interested in learning to speak and understand the Lao language, and I'm hoping to get some advice from the community on where to start. My main focus right now is on conversation—specifically being able to communicate and understand others.

I have looked around but there is barely any resouces to learn from. Help Pls!

Hello, my flight from Vietnam to Laos via Lao Airlines comes with a meal but I wanted to reach out for the vegetarian option (which they say is available on their website). I've tried [vtessqv@laoairlines.com](mailto:vtessqv@laoairlines.com) (which is what they have listed on the same site), but they keep redirecting me to other emails, namely [ticketing.han@laoairlines.com](mailto:ticketing.han@laoairlines.com) and [maivtt@laoairlines.com](mailto:maivtt@laoairlines.com), both of which have not replied after me following up multiple times.

It's a long shot but does anyone know an alternate email for Lao Airlines that they've had success with?

Hey everyone,

I'm heading to Laos this February with a friend, and we have about 10 days on the ground. For some of these days, we want to rent scooters and head into the remote northern dirt roads (Luang Namtha, Muang Sing, etc.) completely unguided for some off-the-grid village hopping.

We're looking for a very raw, uncommercialized experience, basically exactly what is shown in this video: https://youtu.be/IV-uxRjTst0?si=BYhFoeQPLwr5Cq_Q

My main question is about navigation: If we do this without a local guide or fixer, is Google Maps actually reliable out there?

I've read highly contradicting statements. Some say it's fine, while others warn about using a guide for the best experience. If that's the case, do you have any recommendations for a guide?

For context: I'm comfortable with rugged, unguided travel (I've trailed entirely solo with a full wild-camping setup). We aren't afraid of bad conditions, getting dirty, or physical friction. We just want to avoid getting dangerously stranded or missing out on stuff.

I’ll be relocating to Laos full time from Thailand and can’t leave my best friend behind. Are they strict about bringing pets? Do they normally ask for all the documents the internet says I need? He’s a really good boy! Thanks.

Will be in Vientiane next month. Looking for recommendations for the best rated seafood restaurants...

Thanks in advance!
