<p>The classic colonial facade of tall windows, shuttered French doors and curved external staircase display the Lao culture from the colonial era to the present day. Located in the heart of Luang Prabang, <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/laos/"><strong><em>Laos</em></strong></a>, this house was built in 1885 as the residence of the Lao royal family. Satri House was total renovated by Madame Lamphoune Voravongsa in 2000 and has been run since as a hotel.<span id="more-22383"></span></p>

<p>In Laos, a bungalow is the best place to enjoy sunset along the Nam Song River. the town is famous for its adventure destination, due to the many options for kayaking and caving.</p>

<p>A vendor at the Attapeu market.Â The Lao economy is heavily dependent on investment and trade with its neighbors, Thailand, Vietnam, and, especially in the north, China. Pakxe has also experienced growth based on cross-border trade with Thailand and Vietnam. Much of the country, however, lacks adequate infrastructure. Laos has no railways, except a short link to connect Vientiane with Thailand over the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><img src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/laos-photo-by-lorna87.jpg" alt="laos photo" /></center>Laos, officially the Lao People&#8217;s Democratic Republic, is a landlocked country in southeast Asia, bordered by <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/burma-myanmar/"><strong>Burma</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/china/"><strong>China</strong></a> to the northwest, <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/vietnam/"><strong>Vietnam</strong></a> to the east, <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/cambodia/"><strong>Cambodia</strong></a> to the south, and <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/thailand/"><strong>Thailand</strong></a> to the west. Laos traces its history to the Kingdom of Lan Xang or Land of a Million Elephants, which existed from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. In the Lao language, the country&#8217;s name is &#8220;<em>Meuang Lao</em>&#8220;.<span id="more-6563"></span> <center><img src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/laos_pictures_vientiane.jpg" alt="laos monuments" /></center>Laos&#8217; isolation from foreign influence offers travelers an unparalleled glimpse of traditional Southeast Asian life. From the fertile lowlands of the Mekong River valley to the rugged Annamite highlands, Laos is the highlight of Southeast <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/continents/asia/"><strong>Asia</strong></a>.<br />
Enigmatic and relatively undeveloped, Laos bears the dubious distinction of being the most bombed country in history. However, it is gradually emerging from its tumultuous recent history thanks to a combination of foreign aid, a growing ecotourism industry, and its charming, philosophical people. <center><img src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/laos.jpg" alt="laos" /></center>Theravada Buddhism is a dominant influence in Lao <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/activities/cultural/">culture</a>. It is reflected throughout the country from language to the temple and in art, literature, performing arts, etc. Many elements of Lao culture predate Buddhism.<br />
<center><img src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/36053_laos-waterfall-posters.jpg" alt="Laos-Waterfall" /> <img src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/laos_river_2001_02_09.jpg" alt="laos _river" /></center>Laos has rich vegetation, mainly monsoon forest. Parts of the Annamite chain are covered with tropical evergreen forest, where rainfall is highest and in the south, tropical pine forests can be found. <strong>Laos has a large number of animal species,</strong> including as many as 500 different birds. Reptiles include many snakes, including king cobras. Laos is famous for its<strong> woven silk and cotton </strong>which are found in varying designs throughout the country. Each area has its own specific design.</p>
