Singapore Airlines offers non-stop daily flights from Amsterdam to Singapore. From Singapore, low-cost subsidiary Scoot offers flights to Vientiane and Luang Prabang.
Despite being the capital and commercial hub of Laos, Vientiane is surprisingly quaint and laid back. Located along the Mekong River in the north of Laos, the nation’s largest city boasts its own curious blend of traditional temples, French colonial buildings and an increasingly cosmopolitan café scene. Despite a flood of investment in recent years, with boutique hotels and shopping malls springing up across the city, Vientiane has managed to retain its old world charm and remains an idyllic destination for a retreat.
Nestled within the mountains of northern Laos, the UNESCO-listed city of Luang Prabang is a place where time stands still. As the capital of the ancient Lao kingdom of Lane Xang, and the Buddhist capital of Laos, Luang Prabang is a city steeped in legend. Remnants of its mythical past can be found in the treasure trove of cultural and religious attractions that dot the city.
