"Relax in stunning Vieng Vang!" Vang Vieng by li-anne

Vang Vieng Travel Guide: 166 reviews and 336 photos

Rive fields and karstmountains, very scenic

Just enjoy the beautiful scenery

We stayed 5 nights in Vang Vieng. The surrounding and the nature is stunning. Beautiful karst-mountains, many rice fields and nice people.
It's a realxing place, with many travellers. The village itself has not much to offer but many bars, restaurants and a bakery.
Just come here to relax and to enjey the nature, and don't expect too much from the village itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Nature, rice fields, tubing, relax
Cons:Shabby village, too many people
In a nutshell:Do not spend too much time in your hammock, but explore the beautiful surroudings
