Laos: Scenic vistas and enchanting towns
Day 1-5 Vientiane
Stroll through this relaxed and laid-back city that combines Buddhist temples with examples of French colonial architecture. With cafes and spas aplenty, and a revamped waterfront to boot, the Laotian capital is well worth a visit.
Transfers to Pakse 1h15m
Day 6-9 Pakse
Overlooked by some in favour of Luang Prabang and Vientiane, this city in Southern Laos is well worth a stop. Once part of an independent breakaway kingdom, the city has a number of temples and some interesting French colonial buildings to explore. Travel out to Wat Phu Champasak, built as part of the Angkor Empire.
