"Vientiane" Vientiane by muddybok

Vientiane Travel Guide: 755 reviews and 1,696 photos




The Lao name for Vientiane is "Viengchan". The town in build along the curve of Mekong and scenery at Mekong is something I cannot explain but you have to experience it yourself.

The best way to see Vientiane is putting on your Nike trainer and Teva sandals. Hiring a motorbike is possible in Vientiane.

    I enjoyed reading about your trip to Vientiane. Laos is one of the countries that I want most to visit.
