Hey /trv/, ill be going to Vientiane, Laos for a week tomorrow to visit a group of friends 4-5, any suggestions on what to do? in vientiane and near vientiane. Rather not go to other cities overnight due to circumstances of the people in the group that does not let me so
However, does anyone know any good places near vientiane such as waterfalls or nature treks that would make good day trips?
Thanks!
Lots of cool caves near Vang vieng. Not sure about Vientiane though. There is the Buddha statue park, but thats only good for an hour or so..
I'd just check out a tourist office or something when you get there, see what they offer.
If you can find motorbikes and just go for a ride somewhere I'd recommend that.

It's not natural, but the area around Nam Ngum (I) dam, including the gigantic Aang Nam Ngum reservoir, is quite beautiful and fairly interesting. Roughly 70km from Vientiane. Plenty of good riverside walks/bikes/boats in the city, too.
