Laos

The Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao ປະເທດລາວ) in Southeast Asia with the capital Vientiane covers 236,800 km² and is geographically part of Indochina. The state borders China, Vietnam and Myanmar to the north, Cambodia to the south and Thailand to the west. The uniformly tropical, warm and humid climate is divided into two seasons by the monsoon. From November to April, continental north-easterly winds bring about the somewhat cooler dry season.
