On 10 February 2023, I flew from Bangkok to Luang Prabang with Air Asia and was immediately struck by the charming and tranquil atmosphere of the ancient capital. I spent a few days exploring the city's stunning temples, serene waterfalls, and vibrant night market. From there, I took a scenic van ride to the bustling city of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, to experience a different side of the country. Despite the busy streets and modern development, Vientiane still maintained a laid-back and friendly vibe. I was impressed by the rich cultural heritage, delicious local cuisine, and warm hospitality of the Laotian people. It was an unforgettable trip filled with incredible sights and experiences.

To obtain a visa for Laos, I opted for the convenient Electronic Visa (eVisa) option. The cost for the eVisa was 50 USD. With this visa, I was granted a duration of 30 days to stay in Laos. The application process required submitting essential documents, including a valid passport, along with any other documents specified by the immigration authorities. After submitting my application, I eagerly awaited the decision on my visa. Typically, within 3 working days, I received the decision, allowing me to plan my travel to Laos with confidence. The electronic visa process, combined with the quick processing time, made obtaining a visa for Laos hassle-free and efficient.
