If you
have decided to visit Laos there are a few things that you should bear in mind and
organize.
Take your time planning your trip and it will be that much more enjoyable. I
suggest you find a couple of good travel books and read them thoroughly while
planning your trip, and then take them with you. Here are just a few
suggestions. |

Culture Shock! - You'll never feel intimidated and

insights provided in this guide, you'll learn to see beyond the
stereotypes and misinformation that often precede a visit to a foreign land.
Whether you plan to stay for a week or for a year, you'll benefit from such
topics as understanding the rules of driving and monetary systems, religious
practices and making friends. There are tips on political traditions, building
business relationships, and the particular intricacies of setting up a home or
office. Great for the business traveler, the foreign exchange student, or the
tourist who makes a sincere attempt to cross the bridge into a new and exciting

Lonely Planet Lao Phrasebook
- The Lonely Planet phrasebooks have come a long way since the days
when the foreign script portion was merely hand-written in the space
beside the romanized portion. The Lao phrasebook is representative of that
new generation, and it is pretty impressive. Along with all the usual
categories of phrases one would expect to see (greetings, directions,
lodging, food, shopping, health, numbers, dates, emergencies, etc.), the
splendidly informative introduction provides an interesting background on
the spoken language and script, followed by a great section on
pronunciation and grammar. There are interesting cultural notes dispersed
throughout the book, and a vocabulary list at the end. Its compact size
makes it ideal to carry in one's pocket. On the down side the marking
system used in the romanized portion to indicate Lao tones is a little
confusing and under-explained, but all-in-all a great little phrasebook.
