Because celebrations can vary from year to year, it is essential to have a flexible schedule, ready to be adjusted according to the directions of the local guide. Clothing appropriate for the tropical climate is recommended. During the celebrations, it is important to keep in mind that the main custom is to get wet; therefore, it is suggested to opt for clothing that dries quickly and pay special attention to electronic devices, perhaps waterproof cases for cell phones.
Required passport with residual validity of at least 6 (six) months, from the date of entry into the country.
Tourist visas are also required and must be applied for at Laotian diplomatic-consular missions.
