Visas: Fifteen-day visas are now available for US$30 on arrival at Vientiane's Wattay International Airport and at the International Friendship Bridge at the Nong Khai border crossing between Laos and Thailand, though you'll need to meet a series of conditions to get one. Fourteen-day tour visas are generally issued through authorised travel agencies rather than embassies; Laos embassies occasionally issue visas to individuals, but there seem to be no hard and fast rules.
Health risks: Cholera, dengue fever, hepatitis, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, rabies, typhoid
