The Best Places to Visit in Laos in July
Due to its wet weather conditions, few tourists visit Laos in July. You can enjoy more space and freedom in travel hotspots with no worries about overcrowded viewpoints. Often, after a short hour-or-so's downpour, the scenery is newly washed fresh and green. Here are some of the recommended places to visit if you are going to Laos in July.
1. Patuxai Park, Vientiane
As the capital and the major entry city of Laos, Vientiane is rich in historical and cultural parks. If you are looking for a place to relax and rest, then the Patuxai Park is one of the most recommended. Located at the heart of the capital, the park is well-known for its snakelike paths, which lead you around the beautiful gardens. It is worth taking some photos at the famous Patuxai War Monument in the center of the park.
2. MandaLao Elephant Conservation, Luang Prabang
MandaLao Elephant Conservation is one of the places that you should visit, especially if you are in Luang Prabang for the first time. It is a good chance for you and your family to get in close interact with these lovely animals in their natural habitat. The Sanctuary itself is a beautiful nature park, where you can enjoy the rainforest sights of Laos. You can stroll through the jungle in search of the elephants. You can bathe and feed the elephants in the park, who have naturally grown accustomed to human interaction. Kids generally love them!
3. Kuang Si Waterfall, Luang Prabang
Kuang Si Waterfall is a recommended place to visit, particularly during hot, wet, and humid July. Located in the south of Luang Prabang, the waterfall is amazing for its multi-tiered cascades falling down over a steep hillside. The fall is over 60 meters (200 feet) high. There are some beautiful villages in the surrounding area, where you can explore and meet local farmers. Or you could take a boat tour, cruising downstream on the Mekong River.
4. Nam Xay Viewpoint, Vang Vieng
As one of the major travel destinations of Laos, Vang Vieng is known for its karst mountains and beautiful scenery. Nam Xay Viewpoint is one of the recommended attractions. Located on the top of a steep mountain, the viewpoint is a good place to get a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Vang Vieng panorama. From there you can see rice paddy fields running far into the distance, while on the other side there is a wide range of mountains. It has become a popular photography destination.
5. Mekong Riverside Park (Night Market), Vientiane
No matter when you visit Vientiane, Mekong Riverside Park and its night market can't be missed. It is a good place to relax and drink some coffee after a tiring day of travels. The Mekong riverside under a sunset is a beautiful spot for photography. And after night falls, you can walk around the busy night markets on both sides of the river. Buy some local artifacts, Buddhist statues, sunglasses, or Laos t-shirts to bring home as Laos souvenirs.
Crowding and Costs in July
Because of the rainy season's wet and sultry weather conditions, it is not crowded and busy at Laos' historical and scenic attractions. There is no need to worry about crowds if you are visiting Laos in July.
Hotels and tour prices are in the low season range. Many branded hotels offer discounts for early-booking customers. July is a good time to save some money or spend more days in Laos. Contact us for more tour deals in Laos — we can do all the research and booking for your ideal trip.
What to Bring/Wear in July
To cope with the weather conditions in July in Laos, it is good to pack summer clothes and anything than can keep you cool and dry in the day, such as t-shirts, shorts, light-trousers, sun hats, sunglasses, and so on.
There are 20 or so days with rain in July in Laos. You are recommended to bring light waterproofs, quick-drying or water-repelling shoes, umbrellas, ponchos, or anything that would help keep you dry and comfortable.

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Asia Highlights trip to Thailand
Our first tour guide in Bangkok, Marie, was great to tour around with. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. Our next stop in Chang Mai we were greeted by our new tour guide, Rafael. He too was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. He made it feel as if we were traveling around with a long time friend. Every time we arrived at a new destination, we were greeted at the airport by someone with a sign with our name making our travels easy. I would definitely recommend Asia Highlights to anyone looking for a well planned trip of a lifetime! More

Always willing to help and make our trip perfect. Bangkok is a very hot city so we minimized the time outside. The driver always had cold towels for us in the van and cold beverages. More

Thailand
We loved Chiang Mai and Susie did a great job showing us several temples, taking many pictures of us with the elephants at the sanctuary (a definite highlight of the entire trip!), and making sure we were well fed, which became a running joke between us.We had a very relaxing few days in Phuket enjoying the beautiful beaches. Kai was great, answering all of our questions and giving us a nice tour of the old town. The all-day speedboat tour of the Phi Phi islands started off a little shaky as the sea was quite rough so if you’re at all uncomfortable bouncing around in a speedboat, you might want to skip that tour. Things did calm down as the day went on and some of the areas they took us to for swimming, snorkeling, etc were really beautiful. A couple of the islands were too crowded with people. More

Ask for Victor!
If you are traveling to Bangkhok you need to request Victor. He made our trip amazing! My family completed bucket list items with his guidance. He knew exactly how to get us places, kept us on time, made us feel safe, educated us on history, spoke excellent English and was genuinely a nice man! Everyone we encountered was awesome- but Victor is the reason for my 5 star review! More

Perfect 2 WK Thailand Trip for a Solo Female Traveler
Bank was our guide in Bangkok and he showed us around the city with ease and we were able to see and try things I never would have planned on my own. After Bangkok, our small group flew to Chiang Mai for Yi Peng lantern festival and that was a breathtaking experience that I will never forget! Pop was our guide in this city and she was knowledgeable, kind and caring which made our experience even more memorable. More

It was a whirlwind across a number of cities, but a very comprehensive experience across the many sides and cultures of China. Most days had sufficient activities, but weren’t overwhelming, which was great.Across cities, we had excellent tour guides, like Kitty (Beijing), Jenny (Xian), William (Guilin/Yangshuo), Kris (Shanghai), and Tony (Yellow Mountains.)
moreFrom the time we landed in Beijing until we left, we were well taken care of. My wife and I had Lily Liu as our guide and she was amazing. From arranging visits to all the different sights, to teaching us the history, it was fantastic.
moreThe tour was excellent. Selinda was very knowledgeable about all the aspects of our tour. Selinda was very interesting and knew so much Chinese history
moreWe made a private tour through South China in January 2024. Altogether Chengdu was the highlight. We had an incredible day at Emeishan. In Chengdu our guidewas Helen. She was the diamond of all. Speaking fluently English, full of interesting stories, laughing and talking all the time. We missed her the rest of our tour. We highly recommend to go to Chengdu for 3 days when visiting China, especially with Helen.
moreOther highlights are too many to mention but here are a few Ken taking us to the Terracotta Warriors and our food tour in Xian was amazing,
moreOur day volunteering at the Panda Base was truly unforgettable. Helen, our guide, provided us with invaluable insights about Chengdu and the pandas, enriching our tour with her knowledge and expertise. We're grateful to Helen for accompanying us throughout the day and showcasing the highlights of China.
moreWe had a booking with China Highlights through Silvia Ye who guarenteed a perfect organisation. In Chengdu our guide was Helen. She was the diamond of all. Speaking fluently English, full of interesting stories, laughing and talking all the time. We missed her the rest of our tour. We highly recommend to go to Chengdu for 3 days when visiting China, especially with Helen.
moreWe traveled to China during the Chinese new year and we had Kris as our guide and he is simply knowledgeable,helpful and great.
moreWe visited Guilin for 2 days and stayed in the Guilin Waterfall hotel. Guilin was absolutely beautiful! Our guide, William, was very knowledgeable and kind! He taught us so much about Guilin and the surrounding area! We really enjoyed trying the specialty rice noodles of Guilin. Our highlight was the Li river cruise.
moreAmazing tour and the guide Mr. 贺霄 was very accommodating with our needs and request as we have bought our 2 years old with us. Well explained for all the place we visited. Any additional cost were informed well ahead and didn't felt any pressure if we opt not to go for additional detour. The trip was relaxing/ laid back/no rushing with zero shopping!
