Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Vientiane accepting of differences?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Vientiane and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Vientiane is a diverse city with a variety of ethnicities, religions, and cultures. People in Vientiane are generally accepting of differences and are tolerant of different beliefs and lifestyles. The city is home to a variety of different ethnicities, including Lao, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai. Additionally, there are a number of different religions practiced in Vientiane, including Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. People in Vientiane are generally respectful of each other's differences and strive to create a harmonious environment," said another expat in Vientiane, Laos.

"I think people here are quite accepting of differences. Some are open to it. A lot of the older people though not so much. As long as you come here with an open mind and are respectful of Lao customs and beliefs etc then you shouldn't have a problem," wrote a member who made the move to Vientiane, Laos.
