Vientiane is one of the most laid-back capital cities in Southeast Asia. Unlike the bustling streets and concrete jungles of other capital cities like Bangkok and Hanoi, Vientiane feels more like a small quiet town than a capital city. Since it appears relatively untouched by modernisation, with distinctly low-rise architecture and modest urbanization, numerous tree-lined boulevards, the city receives far fewer tourists than its neighboring counterparts. Situated in the bend of the Mekong River, close to the Thai border, Vientiane was virtually destroyed by the Siamese army in the 1820s after an unsuccessful rebellion. When Laos was incorporated into French Indochina (the Indochinese Union) in 1893, the French colonists redesigned Vientiane; hence the French influences around every corner, such as with tree-lined streets, wide boulevards and quaint cafes ideal for people watching. Despite the city having less famous sights to see, Vientiane is best appreciated for its laidback atmosphere, French colonial architecture and smattering of revered Buddhist temples.

Xiangkhouang is a northeast province which is the home to the well-known Plain of Jars – one of the landmarks in Laos. Tourists often choose XiangKhuoang as a stop for short adventures exploring hidden gems spots here. Located in the Xiangkhouang plateau where is composed of hills, valleys, and highlands, along with intriguing beauty, the province attracts tourists by its diversity in nature, culture, and history.

Luang Prabang is a small but vibrant town in the heart of northern Laos. It is adorably picturesque with glittering temples, a mix of traditional Lao wooden houses and hints of European architecture, colorful markets and quaint streets famous for the daily sunrise alms giving ritual where food is offered to the monks. Luang Prabang’s picture postcard image includes French-style cafés, bakeries, restaurants and former French villas with green shutters, the town is a fascinating legacy to when Laos was part of French Indochina. This town is one of the most favorite destinations in Laos, this place has a lot to offer, from dozens of temples, stunning waterfalls, French colonial architecture, bustling night markets to river cruises. On the outskirts are vibrant rice fields and traditional local villages. Luang Prabang was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, and it is also the birthplace of numerous Laotian rituals.

Located on the Nam Ou River, Nong Khiaw is an explorer’s paradise offering incredible scenery and outdoor activities. It is considered one of the most picturesque spots in Laos due to its outstanding natural beauty. The surrounding mountains are riddled with caves where villagers sheltered from American bombing in the 1960s and 1970s, and the area is now ideal for hiking, exploring to waterfalls, biking, kayaking, caving, and visiting local Khmer minority villages famous for bamboo and rattan weaving. For a more gentle and relaxing time, opt to stroll around the visit its historic temple in the center, or have a blissful massage or herbal steam bath at one of the small local spas.

Sitting on the banks of Nam Ou River, Muang Ngoy (Muang Ngoi Neua) is an idyllic village. Only reachable by boat since 2013, this village, against a backdrop of majestic karst limestone mountains, has witnessed some rapid development due to the influx of tourism, yet has managed to retain its rural quaintness. There is plenty to do in and around Muang Ngoi, from hiking to admiring great panoramic views, enchanting caves, beautiful waterfalls and local villages to kayaking on Nam Ou River, exploring beaches and small islands downstream. For a more in depth understanding of local Lao culture and agritourism, a visit to Yensabai Organic Farm is highly recommended. Located on the way to Tad Mook waterfalls, hidden between beautiful rice fields, this farm focuses on sustainable living in all its forms.

Northern Laos can receive up to 600 ml of water per square meter in July and August every year.
