PLACES
Luang Prabang
Once the capital of Laos, situated inbetween the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. Luang Prabang includes stunning crisp clear waterfalls, black bear rehabilitation centre, beautiful treks, enormous caves, outstanding sunset views spreading over the beautiful villages and some of the best street markets Laos has to offer. It offers great street food and an amazing nightlife, but with everything in north south east asia you can expect bars to close at 12, but will most likely find yourself in a 24 hour bowling alley as its the only thing open.
Vang Vieng
The home of tubing which consists of drinking on a rubber dingey visiting bars (think of it as a lazy river bar crawl), just be careful as it can be dangerous if you drink too much, although it has been regulated a bit safer these days its always wise to know your limits. Other than Vang Vieng being a great nightlife scene, it has so much more to offer than that, such as kayaking, ziplining, tubing through caves, the blue lagoon and some of the best hiking routes.
Pakse
In the south of laos lies an extrodinary city filled with culture, historical heritages and mountainous landscapes overlooking the gorgeous city. It offers great markets, temples with great panoramic views, coffee plantations, waterfalls and ancient ruins.
Vientianne
The capital of Laos, located on the Mekong river with a heavy French influence, it is a city with many great sites. It is not a great place for nightlife or adventures but it has a lot of great history and culture, "Buddha park" is worth the visit to Vientianne alone.
