actually depending on where you eat, you’ll find that.. they serve lots of western food lol. of course you can get traditional Laotian food like laap, but I think that’s the only local food I actually ate. just don’t be afraid to explore, culinary-wise. :P ask for a lao-lao too while you’re at it (extremely strong Laotian whiskey)!

if I’m not mistaken, the WORST time to go is actually around now. for your benefit, i’m copy+pasting this from wikitravel:

“Laos has three distinct seasons. The hot season is from March to May, when temperatures can soar as high as 40°C. The slightly cooler wet season is from May to October, when temperatures are around 30°C, tropical downpours are frequent, and some years the Mekong floods. The dry season from November to March, which has low rainfall and temperatures as low as 15°C (or even to zero in the mountains at night), is “high season” (when the most tourists are in the country).”

If you want to try tubing in Vang Vieng, don’t go during the wet season ‘cause it’ll be dangerous with rising water levels in the rivers. That’s from what I recall anyway.

wondering how’s the food like in Laos? aside from the prepared meal with baguette (like Vietnam eh?)

I’m thinking of visiting Laos, but wondering when’s the best time. just got back from Hanoi last week.
