Usually called the forgotten land of South-East Asia, Laos is the most remote and thinly populated country in South East Asia where you can probably just see endless jungles with not even a single road, path, sign, or even electricity wire in sight by looking out the window while in transit.

However, paying $10.00 for a clean, basic room with wifi in Vientiane is also worth doing to enjoy good equipment. If you do not mind sharing a bathroom, rates will decrease about 20-30%. In the bigger towns, you can enjoy luxury convenience in dorm rooms available.
