Often being overshadowed by its neighboring countries, Laos is a true hidden gem in Southeast Asia. There're still so many things that the world didn't know about Laos, and here're 5 of them:
With thousands of stone jars dotted in Xieng Khouang Plateau, Plain of Jars is one of the most intriguing sites in Southeast Asia. Each jar can contains a person and the largest weighs six tons |
The Khone Papeng in Laos in the largest waterfall in all Southeast Asia |
Lao New Year (or Songkran) is celebrated from 14th to 16th of April. The most notable tradition during Songkran is water throwing (more recently cream and white powder throwing) |
Laos is also the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. Thus, it does not have marines. |
At the altitude of 2,819 meters, Phou Bia is the highest mountain in Laos. However, it is not open to tourists as it is filled with unexploded ammunition. |
