Laos (pronounced /ˈlɑː.oʊs/, /ˈlaʊ/, or /ˈleɪ.ɒs/), officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Burma and People's Republic of China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south and Thailand to the west. Laos traces its history to the Kingdom of Lan Xang or Land of a Million Elephants, which existed from the 14th to the 18th century. After a period as a French protectorate, it gained independence in 1949. A long civil war ended officially when the Communist Pathet Lao movement came to power in 1975, but the protesting between factions continued for several years. 10.6% of the population live below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.

My parents fled Laos to a Thai refugee camp where I was born. We were sent to US. How do I get a passport?
Q. So, I don't believe I'm a citizen of Thailand and definitely not one of Laos. I'm currently a permanent resident alien here in America. I have no idea how I am supposed to be able to travel when I'm not able to get a passport. I just want to visit Mexico with family and friends. Please help! If you have any information on how I am to get a passport, please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How much will I need for a month long trip travelling through Thailand, Laos and Vietnam?
Q. Can it be done, excluding transport to and from Asia, for $3000 US if I stay in hostels and eat cheap?

A. I would say easily. I spent three months living in the Philippines and spent twice that. These countries are cheaper than the Philippines. Learn how to bargain though, because you will be expected to pay more in many places because you are a westerner.
