The Lao People’s Democratic Republic is located in Southeast Asia between Thailand and Vietnam. Neighbouring countries include Burma, China, and Cambodia. Laos has a population of approximately 6.8 million.
The government of Laos is a communist single-party state. The president is chief of state, and the prime minister is the head of government.
Laos was ruled by a monarchy that lasted for six centuries. After the fall of Saigon in 1974, the Communist Pathet Lao took control and ended the rule of the monarchy. A strict socialist regime was instituted and was closely aligned with Vietnam.
Laos is known for its relaxed lifestyle that has remained simple and traditional. Tourist attractions include the ancient monasteries and temples, hill tribes, Plain of Jars, and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Wat Phu and Luang Prabang.

安全保卫工作在Laos
个人安全
Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing and bag-snatching, is common in cities, and tourists are the main targets. Travellers should avoid showing signs of affluence, such as expensive clothing or jewelry, and ensure their personal belongings and travel documents are safe at all times.
Sexual assaults are being reported more frequently. Women, in particular, should avoid walking alone in isolated areas and after dark. Avoid accepting food or drink from strangers or new acquaintances. There have been reports of drinks being spiked with drugs.
In some areas frequented by tourists, people will ingest food or beverages that contain opium and other drugs. Be aware that it is dangerous to ingest any amount of opiates or unknown drugs, particularly in areas where medical facilities are limited. Tourists have died in Laos from ingesting drug-laced food or drinks. Fatal drug overdoses have occurred with very small quantities.
The penalty for using or trafficking drugs is very severe in Laos, including the death penalty.
Road travel can be dangerous due to poor road conditions, poor vehicle maintenance, and reckless driving. Road banditry has been reported. Checkpoints and roadblocks may occur in some areas. Authorities may search and detain travellers if identification is not provided. Carry official identification at all times. If you cannot present your identification upon request, you can be heavily fined. Do not travel at night.
Public transportation is unreliable. Boat travel may be dangerous as safety standards are poor, and there have been reports of boats being robbed.
Exercise extreme caution if participating in outdoor adventure activities as safety standards may not be adequate. Purchase travel and medical insurance before departing and ensure your insurance policy covers outdoor adventure activities, including medical evacuation.
Never leave well-used roads and trails due to the risk of unexploded landmines and other munitions, especially in the following areas: the Plains of Jars in Xieng Khouang Province and the Lao-Vietnamese border, including areas formerly traversed by the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Do not take photos of government or military installations, bridges or airports.
LGBTI travellers should note same-sex relationships are not illegal in Laos. However, Lao remains culturally conservative and same-sex couples may face discrimination.
All travellers should avoid public displays of affection so as to not offend. Sexual relationships between foreign and Lao nationals is against the law unless the two people are married.
Laos experiences a rainy season from May-November. Flooding, landslides, major damage to infrastructure could disrupt travel plans. Monitor weather reports closely and follow advice of local authorities.
Tourism infrastructure is limited outside of Vientiane and Luang Prabang.
极端暴力
There is no recent history of terrorism in Laos; however, attacks cannot be ruled out. There are large amounts of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in Laos; they are present in some parts of Savannakhet, Xieng Khouang, Salavan, Khammouane, Sekong, Champassak, Houaphan, Attapeu, Luang Prabang, and Vientiane provinces. Along Route 7 (from Route 13 to the Vietnam border), Route 9 (Savannakhet to the Vietnam border), and Route 20 (Pakse to Salavan). Do not pick up unknown metal objects, and avoid travelling off well-used roads, tracks, and paths.
政治动荡
Avoid demonstrations and political gatherings to minimize safety risks.
应避免的区域
Avoid travelling to Xaisômboun province due to a volatile security situation. High levels of criminal activity such as drug and human trafficking have been recorded in Bokeo province. Caution should also be exercised while traveling along the border areas with Myanmar (Burma).
