If thereโs one country that should be on your 2025 list, it should be Laos. Being the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia, it offers a unique view of mountains, perfectly complemented by the tranquil Mekong River.
Laos has several provinces that you must visit, such as Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng, but letโs not forget Vientiane City. It’s the capital city known for its tranquil temples, bustling markets, and French colonial architecture.ย
There are many options on where to stay in Vientiane, but be sure to check out One Riviera Hotel & Residences in the colonial capital.
