Historic Capital of Vientian Tour (3Days)

Trip code : ASW(V3)

Duration : 3 Day(s) - 2 Night(s)

From : $ 0

Vientian is only 20km fromthe Thai border, but has a completely different feel to Thailand. It is a lot less developed, and quieter. The population of Laos is only 6,000,000. Situated on the Mekong river, the city has a large French expat community (It was a french colony until the 70s) as well as many foreign aid workers. It is difficult to believe it is a capital city..you can see goats happily grazing by the side of the road, and cockerels wake you in the morning.
There is a huge monument in the centre that looks like an asian Arc de Triomph, and many beautiful temples. One day, as Leon and I were walking around we saw a tiny kitten in the middle of a fairly busy road, narrowly escaping death by tuk-tuk. Leon picked it up and we carried it in my hat, looking for a safer place for him, like a park. Luckily, in this part of the world you are never far from a Buddhist monk. We found some playing tennis in the grounds of a temple, and they agreed to look after the kitten.

Vientian Vision ( 3 Days)

Trip code : TL-VTE3

Duration : 3 Day(s) - 2 Night(s)

From : $ 0

Vientiane is Southeast Asia’s most laid-back capital. This city boasts outstanding French colonial architecture and low level buildings that are spread out in the city, enhancing a cultural and relaxed atmosphere. Life in this pleasant capital is slow-paced and there is always only a light flow of traffic, even during rush hour! We explore this little, peaceful capital at a leisurely pace visiting some of the finest and most important historical sites in Laos.
