        Vientiane feels like little more than a large town. With a population of about 740,000, there are no skyscrapers here, no malls or hustle and bustle…

        But, there are outstandingly beautiful Buddhist temples, lively markets, museums, and a fine assortment of local and international cuisines.

            There’s also a scattering of older French-colonial buildings still standing, a reminder of a time not so long ago when Laos was a French colony.

            For those looking for a truly rewarding and unique retirement, Vientiane and its surroundings have a lot to offer.

            Nestled in the nearby mountains, beautiful waterfalls, venerable temples, exotic wildlife, and remote hill-tribe villages await those who have come to Laos with the luxury of time to explore the less-traveled reaches of this area.

            Although Vientiane has perked up a bit in the past few years, businesses still shut down around mid-day, when the city closes her eyes for a few hours. This is not to say that Laotians are lazy – they’re not. In other words, they are a practical people with a different set of priorities than their more “industrious” neighbors.

            Kindness is more important than competition; fun more important than finance; harmony more important than willfulness. Also, life moves with the rhythm of the day and the seasons rather than the rigid strictures of the business cycle.

            We advise that foreigners refrain from buying real property in Vientiane, given the communist government and related lack of respect for private property. 

            Potential problems in renewing a visa for a longer term can occur. So, we recommend serviced apartments or guest houses to start your stay.
