Flying in Laos and Cambodia

Heico,

Don't carry anything that might make you look like a CIA or DOD spy.
Laos is still a very shy and cautious country when it comes to
foreigners (and who can blame them?) People still end up 'missing' or
jailed for poking in the wrong places.

You might want to buy one or more of the Defense Mapping Agency charts
of the area. They'd be entertaining even on a commercial flight. I can
give you the number of the one you want, if you want.

Yes, why not? Can they be ordered online somewhere?

Huh, sounds scary ;-) After their history, I can understand this
partially, but is it really that bad?

Better safe than sorry. There are still activities, although small,
as recent as a few months ago. I think things are a little better
lately. Laos recently received their NTR status. That should help.
