Sabaidee from Laos!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As Laos begins its transition into the green season, our team and I have been travelling across the country on inspections, taking in the changing landscape and continuing to build firsthand insight into the destination. It is a wonderful time to be on the ground, with the country beginning to shift in atmosphere and scenery as a new season approaches.<\/p>

This month, we are happy to feature two new cultural experiences: Sahai Coffee-activism<\/strong> and Hmong Village & Spirit Experience<\/strong> in Luang Prabang. You will also find a selection of Travel For Good experiences<\/strong> and destination news.<\/p>

Happy reading!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Go beyond the usual tourist trails and embark on this exclusive experience delving into the heart of Ban Chan village renowned for its centuries-old pottery tradition. Led by the Lamphet family, this tour offers a unique opportunity to actively participate in the art of Lao pottery making while helping support the community to keep this age-old tradition alive.<\/span><\/p>

The Mekong Elephant Park is a sanctuary for elephants that aims to protect these endangered animals.

Under the new management of the Souphattra Group, the property underwent a total transformation<\/strong> in 2025, merging contemporary Lao elegance with an immersive ‘luxury meets nature’ philosophy.<\/span><\/p>

The resort features 43 refined rooms, including 19 brand-new units and several private villas, all designed to maximise the panoramic vistas of Mount Phousi and the surrounding valley. The centrepiece of the resort remains its iconic infinity pool, now complemented by a world-class wellness center and a signature culinary program led by the Lao Derm Group, featuring high-end Lao cuisine and an evening steakhouse concept.<\/span><\/p>
