5 Tips for Family Travel in Laos - A Checklist!

Before going to the "Land of a Million Elephants," you must make sure that you are familiar with some useful advice so that you can have a fascinating trip without having to worry too much about unexpected problems cropping up.

1

About Weather conditions

It is important for you to be aware that the rainy season in Laos lasts from May through to September. Flooding, tropical storms, typhoons and heavy rain are all possible during this season. In Laos, the average temperature during the daytime ranges from around 29 degrees Celsius in the lowlands to about 23 degrees Celsius in the valleys. Therefore, if your Laos vacation is in the middle of the rainy season, you will need to keep a close eye on your children and come up with alternate ideas for things to do in the dry areas of the trip. The temperature that prevails throughout the dry season, which runs from October to April, is perfect for travelling to any of the 4000 islands or taking a refreshing swim in one of the spectacular waterfalls.

Pay Attention to Your Children at All Times

Keep an eye on your children and ensure that they are safe while on the vacation. You must never allow them to wander off alone in unfamiliar areas, and you must constantly exercise a high level of vigilance. It is essential that parents maintain a close check on their children at all times, particularly while they are engaged in water-related activities during a festival, to ensure that their children do not get separated from them. Also, find a family-friendly hotel in Luang Prabang to stay at. If the weather gives up and it starts to pour, hotels that cater to families like Avani+ Luang Prabang will have a range of indoor activities for your children.

Kid-Friendly Attractions and Activities Are Available in Laos

Some of the most popular places to visit are Wat Xieng Thong, Mount Phousi, Plain of Jars, Pha That Luang, and so on. You should take these places into account. In addition, research the activities that are available in Laos, such as riding an elephant, hiking, climbing, fun tubing, or attending an almsgiving ceremony, and choose the ones that will be most enjoyable for the whole family. Among all these activities, the ones that are the most relaxing include cycling around the picturesque hamlet, resting beneath the banyan trees, as well as sunbathing at resorts along the Mekong River while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

4

Purchase Travel Insurance

Another piece of advice that may be useful is to spend some time before the trip applying for all-inclusive travel insurance and then carefully examining the kinds of situations and pursuits that are excluded from coverage under the insurance plan. If you have booked a vacation via a travel agency, make sure that the information you get from the agent as well as the contact information is accurate so that you can get in touch with them if you have any questions.

5

Get Your Vaccinations

It is dependent on the nations that you visit, but in general, the same restrictions apply in Laos as they do in other locations in Southeast Asia. Please make an appointment to visit your primary care physician at least 2 months before you head out to Laos in order to go through your travel preparations.
