Laos
So far, I can say that Laos is the least developed of all the countries I so far visited in SE Asia.  For the first time, I find myself free of Mcdonald's shadow, I've seen no American chains in this country.  The travel scene here is definitely a contrast to Thailand, you get a sense that they're several years behind.  All in all, it's a good place to chill out in, which exactly what I've been doing since arriving.
