Is it better to go to Laos with a group tour or by driving by yourself?

Self-driving. Because there are many people traveling in group tours, there is no time to travel alone. All activities are group activities, and self-driving is free and unfettered, so self-driving in Laos is suitable. The Lao People's Democratic Republic, referred to as Laos, is a landlocked country located in the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula, bordering China to the north, Cambodia to the south, Vietnam to the east, Myanmar to the northwest, and Thailand to the southwest.
