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.
