Vientiane - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
I don't think it's easy to make local friends as an international person. Laos people are tolerant, and they kind of mind their own business. People do not stare at me or try to touch me or ask to take selfies with me, which are things I've experienced in other countries. - Dec 2024
It might be hard to make friends with locals as not everyone is able to speak English well. I'm not sure which groups might feel uncomfortable here. - Mar 2024
Lao are very friendly but it's still challenging to make friends, probably as a result of language and cultural divides. - Jun 2020
