Echappées Belles - Laos, l'autre fils du Mékong
A French travel show called Echappées Belles (Beautiful Escapes) on France5 network visits Laos in the episode entitled Laos, l'autre fils du Mékong (original air date: January 26 2013). If you don't understand French, you'll still get a kick at what is shown in the 1.5hr programme. My only suggestion is that I wished the host would have made more effort to speak Lao with the locals. Other than that, it certainly is fun watching her go all over the country.

Anthony Bourdain's Travel Show - No Reservations - Laos
In this episode from 2008 (season 4, episode 11), which aired on the Discovery Channel in North America, Anthony Bourdain visits Laos. While he does visit some of the more common places, I love seeing that he goes off the beaten path; his honesty about wartime history; and the baci ceremony they do for him at the end, you can tell he appreciates and understands it meaning.
