Safety

Laos is a highly safe country to visit. Although the Lao people are generally kind and kind, you should nevertheless exercise caution. Keep an eye on your possessions when traveling, especially on a crowded bus, and don't leave money out in your hotel room. To avoid theft, it's best to keep your motorcycle locked and parked in paid lots whenever possible.

There are still unexploded ordinances from the Indochina War in several places in Laos. While they are usually found in rural regions, some can be found near Routes 7 and 13, therefore use caution when traveling in these areas. The roads are safe, and there's nothing to worry about, but this isn't the place to embark on that solo adventure through the woods you've been considering. Safety Wing, which offers renewable monthly insurance policies, can also be a useful option for those who only travel once a month.
