Laos is essentially a year round destination but October/November to March offer the most ideal conditions for visiting the country. During this time temperatures are agreeably warm with slightly cooler evenings that ensure a comfortable stay and perfect touring conditions.
December and January are the cooler months and if you are in hillier areas, such as those found in northern Laos, we highly recommend taking warmer clothes with you as it really can become cold at night.
In April and May the temperatures become much warmer and far more humid, and this really is the only time of year that we don’t recommend visiting Laos unless you have no other choice. The rains do tend to break in May or early June and this does offer some respite from the heat. From June to October expect sunshine interspersed by short sharp showers.
