In researching our upcoming holiday to Vietnam/Cambodia we were recommended to contact Threeland Travel as they could arrange a private group tour - we weren't interested in joining a large organised tour group. Our contact Linda, following input from us as to where/what we wanted to do put together numerous draft itineraries until we decided on the final tour. Linda was so helpful & accommodating & gave valuable advice throughout. She arranged a private tour for 4 - our own guide, bus & driver for each area we went to. We were amazed at the level of service as well as the quality of the service we received from each guide/bus driver. They looked after us as though we were their family. There were times when we wanted to change our itinerary as we went on our travels - no problem to do this - the unexpected does happen such as illness, too tired, just want to relax. We traveled throughout Vietnam then the Mekong River cruise into Cambodia - not one hitch. Our guides even assisted us to check in for each internal flight. A level of service we didn't expect. We stayed 5 star the whole journey as the prices provided to us by Linda made it an affordable option. We have since priced similar organized tours to the same areas & the pricing has been double for most tours. We couldn't believe what we got for the price we paid. We had the most amazing holiday at nothing but the best accommodation with exceptional guides & drivers in very good small buses with air conditioning & plenty of bottled water. All we had to do was have a great time, shop & enjoy all the Vietnam & Cambodia had to offer. With a small group tour we missed the problems that come with a large tour - we encountered one such tour on the Mekong River Cruise - and so pleased that we went with Threeland travel. Thank you Linda & all involved in making our recent holiday one to remember. We are definitely going through them again to explore this fascinating area more thoroughly. Highly recommend them.

Our trip was organised by Threeland Travel and all by email. Our party was made up of two couples. Everything was organised by this company from booking all the internal flights to all the hotels and all the transport and sightseeing. Also the restaurants were booked by them on our request as we asked for vegetarian meals. They did all these perfectly and we did not have a single problem with the whole of the tour as it was perfect from pick up from airport to next destination. We also had a night on the Junk Boat on the Halong Bay and the services of Grayline Cruise was a Five Star service by them. Must mention the hotels  all these chosen by Threeland were excellent. Indian Restaurants were Ganesh Restaurant who has branches all over Vietnam and others were Little India in Hanoi. All these was organised by Alex at Threeland Travels who are based in Hanoi. Highly recommended for people who want to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Threeland Travel organised a private 15 trip for me in Vietnam & Cambodia (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon, Siem Reap). I found Threeland over the internet and was guided by very positive reviews of other travellers in this forum. Albeit a bit nervous about sending a down payment (50% of local trip costs) to an unknown agency, I must admit that I was not disappointed anywhere. Threeland operators Alex and Mia of the Hanoi office diligently planned the trip, responded quickly to all my many queries beforehand and organised a visa on arrival for me. Upon arrival I was greeted at every airport by very friendly and knowledgeable private guides and very careful drivers. The guides are very knowledgeable about the history of the nation and the places visited, but I enjoyed particularly learning more about the present life of residents in discussing with them. All **** hotels selected were more than adequate and centrally located and all preselected meals were in very nice restaurants offering a plentiful variety of local foods. I have really nothing to complain about and can recommend Threeland to any traveller to organise a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos or Myanmar. If I go again to this part of the world, I would for sure entrust Threeland Travel to organise my local trip. My only advise to travellers interested in going to Vietnam would be not to try combining North and South Vietnam in one trip due to very different climate zones. I did so, but in March Hanoi and Halong Bay were still too cold and rainy to truly enjoy the beauty of it. For the North July & August are best months, for the South November and December- then temperatures are only in the mid 20 degeee celsius range. Hoi An in the center is touristy but a very pleasant place, also offering travellers a choice to spend a few days to rest on the beautiful beach. Saigon is a vibrant metropolitan city worth spending 3 days but do not go to the Mekong delta unless you spend time over there overnight (only then you can see the floating markets). Angkor Wat is definitely worth seeing, but 2-3 days are fully sufficient there - you will see any how so many temples during your trip that you will hardly be able to remember all of them !

Ms Linda from Threeland arranged the perfect itinerary for just me and my husband. We spent 9 days in Vietnam and 5 days in Cambodia. All the tour guides and drivers were very professional and courteous. Mr. Guam(??) from Gray Line Cruise on Halong Bay was attentive, knowledgeable and fun. The VIP suite on the Gray Line Cruise was so luxurious. We love Cambodia. The people are so friendly and the prices are so reasonable. Our tour guide in Siem Reap gave us insights to life during the Pol Pot regime along with history of Angkor Wat. He knows all the short cuts bypassing the busy crowds. The accommodations on the tours were all good except the Elios Hotel (senior superior room). We had problems with leaky air conditioning unit and poor drainage in the shower, but the hotel staff very quickly moved us to a grand deluxe room after we informed them of the problems. We will definitely use Threeland again for our next Asia travel and recommend you to our friends.

Laos Overview

Why Visit Laos?

Are you unsure if you should travel to Laos? Here is why this lesser-visited country may just become your favorite part of Southeast Asia.

  • Laos is the most spiritual nation in Southeast Asia. In cities like Luang Prabang, you can hear monks chanting in the streets, and every morning at sunrise, monks in orange robes walk around collecting alms from locals. The ancient Buddhist temples are peaceful places where you can think quietly and relax. A tour of these spiritual places in Laos offers a quiet moment for personal reflection.
  • From the clear, turquoise pools at Kuang Si Falls to the rushing waterfalls of the 4,000 Islands, Laos is full of amazing nature. Vang Vieng offers mountain views, caves, and river tubing for adventure lovers. Its national parks protect rare wildlife like elephants, sun bears, and hundreds of bird species.

Unlike its bustling neighbors, Laos has maintained a wonderfully unhurried pace. This is a country where you can truly disconnect from the digital world and immerse yourself in the surroundings. Whether you are relaxing in a riverside café, wandering through a local market, or trekking through a quiet village. The peaceful atmosphere lets you slow down, connect, and enjoy the true spirit of the place.

Did You Know?

  • Laos has a painful past as the most bombed country per capita, yet its people are warm, friendly, and full of hope.
  • The Mekong River flows for more than 1,000 miles through the country, defining its landscape and culture.
  • More than 65% of Laos is covered in forests, making it a great place for wildlife and nature trips.
  • Laos has about 50 ethnic minorities, making its culture varied and unique.
  • The country's nickname, Land of a Million Elephants, comes from its history as the powerful Lan Xang kingdom.
  • Famous for its beautiful mix of Lao and French colonial styles, Luang Prabang is a protected UNESCO site.
  • The local currency in Laos is the Kip (LAK), but US dollars are also used in many places. It is best to carry both.
  • Laos is home to the mysterious Plain of Jars, an ancient site that still puzzles experts today.

Is Laos Safe for Tourists?

Laos is generally a safe and welcoming country for tourists, but it is wise to be cautious. Petty crime, such as bag-snatching by thieves on motorbikes, can occur in tourist areas like Vientiane and Luang Prabang. It is best to avoid carrying valuables or walking alone at night. When exploring the countryside, a key safety precaution is to never stray from marked roads and paths, as unexploded ordnance (UXO) from past conflicts remains a risk in some rural areas. By using common sense and following local advice, you can enjoy a safe and rewarding Laos tour.

Safety Tips for the U.S. Travelers

  • Use licensed guides, especially in rural or remote areas.
  • It is best to stay in familiar areas and avoid places that may be risky.
  • Stay hydrated, carry insurance, and register with your embassy if needed.

Do U.S. citizens need a visa for Laos?

Yes, U.S. citizens need a visa to visit Laos in 2025. The process is simple and traveler-friendly. Visa on Arrival is the most common and convenient method. You can get a 30-day tourist visa directly at international airports in Vientiane and Luang Prabang, as well as at most major land border crossings. You will need a valid passport, two passport-sized photos, and a fee.

For a faster entry, you can apply for an eVisa online through the official Lao government website before your trip to Laos. This allows you to pay in advance and use a dedicated immigration lane upon arrival, saving you time. The eVisa is valid for a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days.

Explore the Popular Destinations in Laos.

From UNESCO towns to riverside villages, our Laos travel packages are crafted to help you connect, not just see.

Luang Prabang

Known for its Buddhist temples and colonial buildings, Luang Prabang is a UNESCO-listed city full of history and beauty. Set between the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, this town is known for saffron-robed monks, morning alms ceremonies, vibrant night markets, and glistening golden temples. Nature lovers flock to the lush Kuang Si Waterfalls and scenic Mount Phousi for panoramic sunsets. Whether you are cycling the quiet lanes or discovering local crafts, Luang Prabang promises slow-paced days, cultural richness, and unforgettable moments for every visitor.

Vientiane

The laid-back capital of Laos, Vientiane, offers a unique blend of modern life and deep-rooted Buddhist traditions. Explore iconic landmarks like the golden Pha That Luang stupa and the Patuxai Victory Monument. Discover the quirky Buddha Park with its hundreds of statues or visit the serene Wat Sisaket temple. Vientiane provides a relaxed atmosphere to stroll along the Mekong River promenade and savor delicious local cuisine.

Vang Vieng 

Sitting beside the Nam Song River and backed by limestone karsts, Vang Vieng has transformed from a party town into a nature‑lover’s haven. You can kayak through hidden lagoons, explore caves, hike to panoramic viewpoints, or simply relax by emerald pools. Early morning hot-air balloon rides over the valley add a sense of serene awe. It is the perfect place for travelers seeking scenic adventure at a gentler pace.

Pakse & Southern Laos

Pakse is the relaxed starting point for exploring Southern Laos. From here, you can visit stunning waterfalls, coffee farms, and the ancient Wat Phou temple. It is also the gateway to the Bolaven Plateau, perfect for trekking and adventure, or to the peaceful 4,000 Islands, where you may see rare dolphins. Southern Laos offers quiet river life, colorful markets, and warm local hospitality, a true look at the real Laos.
