#Laos did something no other country has tried: it banned the import of new gas and diesel passenger cars outright. As of June 1, only new cars legally entering the country are electric. Hence the “100%” electric import figure in June electrek.co/2026/07/22/l... #ElectricVehicles #ActOnClimate
This country went 100% electric vehicles overnight with a drastic approach

Laos suspended gas and diesel car imports through 2026, making nearly every new imported car electric. Here's the drastic policy behind the shift.

As the sun rises in Luang Prabang around 200 Buddhist monks depart from their various temples to gather their daily meal. It is a solemn ritual and completely authentic, where both monks and the faithful continue a centuries-old tradition. #LuangPrabang #Laos #Buddhist #takbat #ritual #solemn
As monks file past the line of alms-givers - who are usually sitting or kneeling on the street - the monk`s bowls are reverently filled with handfuls of sticky rice or bananas. It's one of the most vivid images of Laos - from 5:30 in the morning onward, silent lines of saffron-clad monks walk down the streets of Luang Prabang to collect alms.
As monks file past the line of alms-givers - who are usually sitting or kneeling on the street - the monk`s bowls are reverently filled with handfuls of sticky rice or bananas. I was ashamed to be here today. A young girl in a short skirt and low-cut top runs to the front of the line. Her camera flashes are blinding the monks. Another lady touches a monk as she puts her arm around him to take a selfie. He recoils at the transgression. Some of the locals and the monks are considering canceling this age old tradition.

The locals sit or kneel. I was told not to position myself higher than the monks' heads. The best rice for the tak bat ritual is prepared by the alms-givers themselves. The locals wake up early to prepare a batch of sticky rice, which they then scoop generously into each monk's bowl as the line files past.

The Oma are one of Laos’ least populous ethnic groups, with an estimated 2,000 persons in seven villages of Phongsaly Province. The Oma are accomplished cotton farmers, indigo dyers, and embroiderers, as seen in their colourful and unique traditional clothing. #Laos #oma #portrait #indigo #weavers
An Oma girl is sitting on a bench facing the light coming from a window. The Oma are one of Laos’ least populous ethnic groups, with an estimated 2,000 persons in seven villages of Phongsaly Province. The Oma are accomplished cotton farmers, indigo dyers and embroiderers, as seen in their colourful and unique traditional clothing. Residing in remote mountain villages, the Oma still retain many of their traditional practices. For example, Oma women still make and wear traditional clothing, including a long distinctive applique headscarf worn by married women.

Hmong Laos The Hmong are an ethnic group that makes up the third largest population in Laos. They are originally from southern China and migrated to Laos in the 19th century. #Laos #hmong #festivaldress #portrait
