Laos is a mountainous landlocked country, sharing borders with Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, Thailand to the west, and Burma and China to the north. The country is officially Buddhist and before 1998 there were more monks in Laos than tourists. The official name of the country is LAO-PDR which means Lao-Please Don’t Rush.

From 1964 to 1973, the United States dropped 1.9 million tonnes of bombs on Laos, mostly in the northeast, to destroy the trail. The Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos is littered with the remnants of broken tanks, trucks, and defused bombs as a result of this campaign. Life in Laos has continued in much the same way it has for hundreds of years although things are now slowly beginning to change.
