When visiting Laos in May you can expect a certain amount of rain, but nothing that will dampen your holiday too much. By taking advantage of the lower airfares and hotel prices that can be enjoyed at this time of year your holiday £ can go that little bit further and there will be a lower density of tourists, which is never a bad thing. Perhaps avoid the northern hill country around Nam Ha and Muang La as the rain tends to arrive here first.

It’s also a great time of year to perhaps combine a stay in Laos with North and Central Vietnam as fit well together and will be enjoying great weather, especially the central coast around Hue and Hoi An.
