Laos

Laos stamps for sale at Io Collezionista. The Lao People's Democratic Republic has seen the number of visitors rise considerably since it opened to international tourism in the early nineties: within fifteen years arrivals went from 80,000 to more than 4 million. Among the most admired sites are the city of Luang Prabang, the sovereign's residence until 1975, and Vat Phou, a Khmer temple of the 7th century later reconsecrated as a Buddhist place of worship in the 11th, both on the UNESCO world heritage list, added in 1995 and 2001 respectively. The word Laos was coined by the French in 1893, who simply drew on the name of the most widespread ethnic group in the area, the Lao.
