Join Laura as she crosses the Thailand-Laos border and explores the charm of Vientiane, the tiny but lively capital. From navigating confusing train tickets and tuk-tuks to discovering local BBQs and serene Mekong riverside walks, she takes you along every quirky and memorable step. Then it’s off to Luang Prabang, where French-influenced architecture, bustling night markets, and sacred wats meet rainbow-colored dragon boats and early-morning alms giving. Along the way, Laura reflects on culture, communism, and the slower pace of life in Laos, making this episode a vivid mix of travel, food, and thoughtful observations.
