Other notes
Alms-giving ceremony (Tak Bat): please keep your distance, remain silent, do not use flash photography, and do not block the monks’ path; if making an offering, it is recommended to buy sticky rice at the local market and kneel or sit lower than the monks.
Safety: some rural areas of Laos still contain unexploded ordnance (UXO) from wartime; always stay on marked paths and follow your guide’s instructions.
Dress code: when visiting temples, the Royal Palace, and historical sites, please wear clothing covering the shoulders and trousers or skirts extending below the knees, and remove your shoes before entering the main sanctuary.
Currency: the kip (LAK) is the official currency; many places accept USD and Thai baht, but it is advisable to exchange some money into kip for spending at markets, small shops, and in rural areas.
The tour is normally led by an English-speaking local guide; Vietnamese-, French-, Chinese-, Thai-speaking guides, and others can be requested (please advise when booking, subject to guide availability).
Prices apply per guest, based on private tours for groups of 2 or more guests. Larger groups receive better rates; please contact us.
