Land of a million elephants,
Laos is a comparatively undiscovered country. Now,
after two decades of isolation from the outside
world, this landlocked, sparsely populated country
is enjoying peace, stabilising its political and
economic structures and admitting foreign visitors
once more. A mystical land of mountains and
forests it has so far escaped the dramatic
industrial development that has gripped most of
its neighbouring countries thus making it a
country of true discovery and adventure. |
