The bus to the Cambodian Border Savannakhet Province

In Laos we tried to travelled as much as we could by bus to save money and see some of the rural inland area's. From Vientiane we went to Luang Prabang where we stayed for a few days. Luang Prabang was quite nice and there's a pretty laid back feeling about the place.

After some sightseeing in Luang Prabang we took a night bus further south in direction of the Cambodian border to...

The caves on the Mekong River Luang Prabang

Every stay in Luang Prabang should include a day trip to the Pak Ou Buddha Caves. This Buddhist monastery was carved out of a giant limestone rock located in the waters near Pak Ou, at about an hour or two hours by boat from the Luang Prabang town centre.

The caves can be divided into a lower cave, the Tham Ting, and an upper cave, the Than Teung. The caves can only be accessed by...

A tuk tuk to the bus station Luang Prabang

Definitely the most weird bus ride I've experienced in my life! We left Vientiane from the Southern Region Bus Station and jumped on something that looked like a green emercency trooper loaded with bags of rice and card board boxes. Then I found out that Lao people prefer to keep their strangest luggage on board.

So there we were, sitting between bags of fish, toy cars and singing chickens on the road to Luang Prabang in the north central part of Laos.

Amongst the main touristic attractions in Laos would be the Buddha Garden on Phu Si Hill, also known as Chomsy Hill. From town...

Lao build dike in Vientiane Vientiane

After a long day of sightseeing the best thing to do is to have a cool drink at one of the many eateries on the Mekong River which runs from China, Burma and Thailand all the way through Laos, Cambodia and Vietname.

A lot of Lao locals own food stalls or eateries along the river and attract tourists with their amazing fried dishes and cool Lao beer. We heard of a place called Sala Khounta from other travellers who had a great time there and told us that this beer garden has one of the best views of the river.

The Sala Khounta garden is more like a bamboo thatched balcony bar upon...

Pictures of the Patuxay Monument Vientiane

The Patuxay Monument is also referred to as the Arc de Triomphe of Laos and is located in the city centre of Vientiane. Standing in front of this good looking structure it might feel for a seconf like you're in the Paris of Asia but as soon as your eyes drift of to the ceiling of the Patuxay you'll notice all the Lao details.

If you take a closer look you can see all kinds of kinnari figurines painted in bright colours on the ceiling of the arc which obviously aren't very french and a typical detail of Lao style buildings. This all results very logical once you know that the Victory Gate was build...
