If South-East of Asia and particularly Laos is on your bucket list then getting some useful information such as flight details, practical information on visa on arrival, safety and other initial things before packing your back will be advised, however, after all that you may consider how to spend your Laos tours in order to both enjoy the country’s beauty and also to get the most of it for your trip. Here are some of the top things to do when you are traveling in Laos and especially in Vientiane; there are a lot of things to visit as well as some day trips to enjoy the laid back capital city of Laos.
Cope Visitor Centre in Vientiane
Started in late 1997 in order to support the survivors of landmine explosions from the Indochina war, the center now become a tourist place rather than a cope center which they also provide services for the peoples who have been affected by the war.
Wat Si Saket
Considered as one of the historic survivals of many Wat ( Pagoda) that have been built in 18th century, history buff will love this pagoda, we advice to arrive as early as possible to avoid the crowd of tourist groups. Almost all of Laos tours include a visit to Wat Si saket, so you do it as well.
Great Sacred Stupa (Pha That Luang)
Although its not located in the center of Vientiane but definitely worth a visit, the temple is a historic kind of pagoda. When grounds are sacred you can feel a presence of higher powers no matter how do you call them. Architectural master pieces of past are still well preserved.
Patuxai Monument
For many it still known as the victory monument, this prestigious monument located like the sky rise in the center of Vientiane which is surrounded by a beautiful park-land area. When visiting the Patuxai monument you can walk up and have a great panoramic view over the capital city. Fort many tourist this is a rest place as there are quite a number of shop selling coffee, and other drinking with some quick eat available.
National History Museum of Laos
Not a louvre museum but a great musum to get yourself closer to history of Laos. The subjects displays to the "US imperialists and their puppets," and are written in English and French although many items doesn’t have the translation.
That’s not all but this is what we recommend for a day trip when visiting Vientiane, most of the
Laos tour packages are started in capital city because there are basically better flights from Thailand and or Vietnam. You may get your Laos tourist visa upon any land border and the most visited destination in Laos are Luang Prabang which you should visit if you really want to get to know more of Ancient history and beauty of Laos.
