A weak yen is an ally!? Laos is full of attractions!

#0yentrip #Laostrip #weakyen #beer #Southeastasia #stamprally I've traveled a lot in Southeast Asia, but Laos was a place I hadn't been to before, so I went there in 6 days for the stamp rally. Haneda - Ho Chi Minh Luang Prabang - Vang Vieng - Vientiane - Ho Chi Minh - Narita March in Laos is just before or after the summer season, and although it's hot, there's no need to worry about rain and it's very comfortable✌️ I escaped from cold Japan and went to warm Laos🇱🇦 I honestly thought there would be nothing there (is that rude...?), but it exceeded my expectations in a good way. 1. People are kind (I think this is quite important!) People smile when they pass you on the street, and although it may be because of the shy national character, everyone is kind. 2. Prices are cheap. Now that the yen is weak, I was able to enjoy a luxurious time for the first time in a while. Beer Lao (Laos' most famous beer) costs about 70 yen per bottle, and a plate of side dishes at a restaurant with a decent atmosphere costs about 300 yen. A taxi costs about 200 yen for about 1 km. A full-body massage costs about 1,000 yen for an hour. Foreign-run five-star hotels are also very reasonable at about 15,000 yen per room. It feels cheaper than not only Thailand, but also Vietnam and Cambodia! 3. The food is delicious. In addition to being cheap, I think the food is also suitable for Japanese people. It's similar to Thai food, but it's not just spicy, and for some reason, even though I don't like coriander, I found the coriander in Laos delicious lol. Combined with the moderate heat, the thin Beer Lao seeps into my body 🥺 4. Vang Vieng is the best! I didn't have high expectations for sightseeing in Laos. However, Vang Vieng was simply the best. It's like the world of ink painting, just like Guilin in China. Surrounded by majestic mountains, no matter where you look, the view is spectacular. Swimming in the lush lagoon, going on a little mountain climbing, and other activities are a must-see for activity lovers. I regretted staying only one night 😅 It's also easily accessible, about an hour from both Luang Prabang and Vientiane by the Lao version of the bullet train!
