Laos Travel Advisory: Level 2 Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. State Department updated its travel advisory for Laos, maintaining Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. Risks of crime, unrest, and unexploded ordnances persist. Reconsider travel to Xaisomboun Province due to civil unrest; exercise increased caution in border areas with Burma and several provinces due to crime and unexploded ordnances. Avoid Special Economic Zones, especially Bokeo and Boten SEZs.
