Laos is a landlocked south-east Asian country with a population of almost 7 million. More and more people are heading to Laos to enjoy the mountainous scenery, the UNESCO heritage sites such as Luang Prabang, and enjoy travelling to areas where few tourists tread. As a result, the amount of TEFL positions being advertised is slowly increasing, and not only in the capital, Vientiane. Living in Laos will also offer you the opportunity to explore neighbouring Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and southern China; if you do, consider using the cheap airlines as it will save you some arduous bus journeys. You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in Laos.
