Laos - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781857338805)

Culture Smart Laos offers in-depth information to visitors seeking a genuine experience, including insights on local customs and lifestyle, and is also of great use to businessmen and prospective investors. Once known as "the Kingdom of a Million Elephants under the White Parasol," Laos is a landlocked country of great contrast and beauty in the heart of the Indochinese peninsula. Visitors quickly relax and enjoy the vibrancy and color of bustling marketplaces with their aromatic spices, tropical fruits, and huge wicker baskets containing many varieties of rice. Visitors may glimpse a group of monks of all ages wandering past in flowing orange robes and later hear their chanting emanating from within the temple walls. Passing a line of children in school uniform, chattering and laughing noisily, you will always be greeted with a gracious bow and "sabaidee." Whatever the purpose of your visit, in Laos you will always be greeted with warmth, courtesy, hospitality, and a feeling of completely safety.
