Really Useful Guide

We used this guide to help us plan our first visit to Laos.
The hotel guide was spot on and we felt the description was really accurate.
We had two days in Luang Prabang and had managed to plan a great itinerary using the suggestions in the guide book.
We are returning to Laos again and have used the guide to help us plan a week driving from Luang Prabang to Ventiane.

Poor travel advice for mid-budget travel. In comparison le Routard French guidebook is so much more accurate, including details of transports once landed in a foreign country, also great recommendations of mid- budget accommodations and eateries as LP lists either bottom or high end prices. But I am lucky, I am dual French & British!
