Forgotten Laos: a photo essay

by Amelia Curran
Mouchi tribe in Laos

Travel photographer Damon Wilder has been a friend of ETG for many years now. He has travelled across all Asia with us, capturing countless incredible moments on the way. But on his recent trip to forgotten Laos, we felt he had taken some of his most remarkable photographs yet. Despite its extraordinary beauty, Laos remains something of a traveller’s secret, often overlooked in favour of its more well-known neighbours. So we wanted to give travellers an insight into the kind of remarkable experiences you could have when you take the path less trodden.

Over to Damon.
