Although Lao PDR actually stands for Peoples’ Democratic Republic, many locals say that the PDR should stand for Please Don’t Rush. They’re right. Lao is a country that is off the beaten track but has so much to offer the visitor. The mighty Mekong river flows through Laos, carving out beautiful landscapes.
