May's weather in detail
Whilst rain can be expected throughout Laos during May, it is typically intense and short lived and quickly replaced by blue skies and sunshine, although longer downpours are generally experienced in the south of the country.
Temperatures remain high, with Luang Prabang and Vientiane experiencing average temperatures of 28°C, whilst further south in Pakse and the 4000 Islands highs of 35°C are the norm.
Avoid the short, heavy showers and you will find that May is still a great month of the year to visit Laos as plenty of sunshine can still be expected and visitor numbers are lower than previous months.
