Worth agreeing on before you meet
Buddhist Etiquette
Laos is a deeply Buddhist country. Remove shoes before entering temples and homes. Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) in villages and temple grounds. Women should never touch a monk or hand objects directly to them. Place items on a cloth or table instead.
Protect the River Ecosystem
The Mekong and its islands support river wildlife and local fishing communities. Do not litter. Take all rubbish with you and reduce single-use plastic where possible. The loss of the border dolphin population is a reminder that this river ecosystem needs protection.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the 4000 Islands travel guide.
