Unforgettable Stays in Laos: From Colonial Villas to Eco-Lodges

Laos has quite the variety of places to stay, often locally owned, and they all have their own character and charm. Best of all, in Luang Prabang and Vientiane, you will find recently restored and converted, beautiful French colonial villas with lovely, small boutique hotel businesses. The stays often compliment traditional style buildings with up to date amenities. Often there are refreshing swimming pools, relaxing spas, and tranquil courtyards to decompress in after a day spent visiting the sights of Laos.

If you are more inclined to get off the beaten path, there are rustic, eco-lodges that are comfortable, set in the mountains of northern Laos. Eco-lodges are a great option for travelers who want to see remote villages, hike through forests, and experience a slower and more authentic side of Laos.

In the south, there are also a few small and relaxed resorts which provide a nice base to explore one of the country’s prettiest and untouristed regions. It doesn’t matter whether you are cruising the 4,000 Islands, or visiting waterfalls and temples, these accommodations will provide a friendly face, simple constituents, and close access to the best of the area.

Whichever place you visit, travel in Laos often provides a chance to support local communities and enjoy genuine hospitality in some truly memorable settings.

We had a wonderful 12-day trip across Thailand, beautifully arranged by Mr. Stephen from Absolute Asia. Every detail was taken care of, from comfortable stays to fully organized vegetarian meals throughout the journey. Our itinerary covered Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, then we spent five blissful days in Koh Samui. There, we relaxed on palm-fringed beaches, explored Ang Thong Marine Park by boat, and savored fresh tropical fruits at sunset. A big shoutout to our lovely guide, Mr Krit who made the experience even more special with him warmth and knowledge. We’re heading home with unforgettable memories of Thailand’s hospitality and charm. Thank you, Absolute Asia Tours.

Our recent trip to China and Mongolia was a great success. Overall we found Absolute Asia Tours services to be excellent throughout the two weeks we were in Asia. For us, Mongolia was definitely the highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed or local guides and drives and they were unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful and amusing. Their languages skills were excellent and we felt that we recieved real insight into this fascinating country. We were intinially drawn to the idea of this trip by the reports of the world class fihing and we were absolutely not disappointed. The fishing guide was first rate and we caught more fish than we could have hoped for - more than 25 each day - with the added bonus of being the only other people in sight for miles arround. AAT created a private ger camp for us on the Onon River and we enjoyed delicious food prepared by our chef in a beautiful unspoled atmosphere. They alo arranged for us to visit a nomadic family and spend time with them at home and organized a dinner with an anthropologist with expert knowledge of the region. AAT fullfilled their promise to tkae us to us to one of the world's best fishing destinations in comfort and style. We would be happy to travel with AAT again and will definitely recommend them to our friends.

Absolute Asia tours gave us a wonderful tour of Southeast Asia (working with sister-agency My Way Travel based in Vietnam). For our Siem Reap/Angkor Wat journey, our party of two had a private driver and guide named Jak, who was a cheerful and knowledgeable companion, explaining the history, culture, architecture and religious significance of the sites while keeping it always fun. We moved efficiently from site to site, and finished with a boat tour of the fishing village on stilts at Kampong Pluk on the Tonle Sap Lake. During most of our trip we stayed at top-notch locally-owned hotels, but in Siem Reap we were at the excellent local Hyatt hotel. Absolute Asia and My Way Travel our outstanding local providers, less expensive than name-brand group tours, and customized to our interests and schedule.

Tony our guide made it special by introducing us to locals and showing us the real charm of these countries. The whole tour was well-organized & the way they took care of us awesome. It's an unforgettable trip and I'll definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Southeast Asia.
