What do expats find most challenging?

"Expatriates in Laos often find the local culture to be quite different from their own, which can be challenging to adjust to. The language barrier can be difficult to overcome, as English is not widely spoken in Laos. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to understand, as they are often quite different from those of the expat's home country. Furthermore, the pace of life in Laos is much slower than in many other countries, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to," said a member in Laos.

"Learning Lao, shopping at the market for food, making sure the family is happy, getting my sense of direction (which is terrible)," remarked another expat who made the move to Vientiane, Laos.
