The rainy season in Laos is almost on its peak during July with rains prevailing in most parts of the country that makes travel to remote regions become difficult at times. Anyway, most of the rains happen in the afternoon and at nights so, you can still expect lots of dry days and blue sky.

In the southern part of Laos including the areas of Savannakhet & around Champasak (Pakse, and 4000 island) the rain can last longer and be more constant although plenty of dry days are still expected. Temperatures stay around 31-32oC.  

How to do and what to expect if travel to Laos in July

Traveling in Laos during this month is pretty easy. The rain is not a concern but a relief & refreshing. The low number of visitors at sites is also an advantage for those who want to escape from the crowd.
Due to the rain, travel to mountainous and remote regions can be difficult at times but easy style of travel to Vientiane and Luang Prabang is no doubt a good choice. Natural landscapes and in the south is now fresher and waterfalls are certainly back to their most impressive sight and all the places there are accessible.
