Laos has a long history trace back to the Kingdom of Lan Xang which means "The Land of a Million Elephants”. The country is famous for its serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This secluded mountainous nation offers mist-covered peaks, charming French colonial towns, and magnificent golden Buddhist temples. Its natural wonders include the Annamite Mountain Range, nestled near the Vietnamese border to the east, and the majestic Mekong River, which traces Laos' boundary with Thailand after originating in China.
