A1: Indian passport holders require a visa for Laos, which can be obtained on arrival at international airports and border checkpoints or via an e-visa for convenience. European travelers from countries like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain enjoy visa-free entry for up to 15 days, but longer stays require a visa application.
A2: Indian travelers may find pure vegetarian food limited outside major cities like Vientiane and Luang Prabang, though Indian restaurants are available. Traditional Lao vegetarian options include Laap (vegetable salad), Khao Piak (rice soup), and stir-fried vegetables with sticky rice. European travelers will find Lao cuisine blends well with Western tastes, with dishes like grilled fish, fresh spring rolls, and French-style baguettes and coffee. French restaurants and bakeries are common in Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
A3: Indian travelers often enjoy Mekong River cruises like the Huay Xai to Luang Prabang route for a scenic journey, while buses and tuk-tuks are budget-friendly but slower. European travelers typically prefer private cars or minivans for comfort, especially on routes like Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng. Domestic flights, such as Vientiane to Pakse, are a faster alternative for long distances.
A4: Travelers should dress modestly when visiting temples, covering shoulders and knees. Avoid touching people’s heads or pointing feet at Buddha statues, as both are considered disrespectful. Women should refrain from touching monks due to religious customs. Instead of a handshake, a slight bow (nop) is the preferred greeting in formal situations.
A5: Indian travelers will enjoy markets like Talat Sao in Vientiane and the Luang Prabang Night Market, offering handwoven textiles, silver jewelry, and Buddhist amulets. European travelers may prefer boutique shops in Luang Prabang and Champassak, known for handmade Saa paper, silk scarves, and organic Lao coffee. French wines and local whiskey (Lao Lao) are also popular souvenirs.
