🇱🇦 Vientiane, Laos | A City Without Checklist Tourism

Vientiane, a capital that doesn’t feel like one—no cyber neon like Bangkok, Thailand, nor the colonial elegance of Luang Prabang. Peeling French-style buildings, dusty roads, and scattered international backpackers make it feel like stepping back in time, as if someone hit pause on Southeast Asia a decade ago, leaving its untamed wildness intact. Here, simply wandering and observing turns every sight and sound into a journey’s delight. 🏨 Accommodation: Muu Lao Hostel – Clean, safe, with currency exchange, SIM cards, and bus tickets available. 🍚 Food: Pho Nang Chit – Vietnamese beef noodle soup (hidden in a small alley). ☕ Coffee: The Cabana Design Studio & Café Le Trio Coffee 🛍️ Night Market: Vientiane Night Market (a local-favorite bazaar). 🍃 Attractions: Xieng Khuan (Buddha Park) – Sculptures of deities inspired by a monk’s dream. 😌 Massage: Phokham Massage (Full-body massage for just 30 yuan an hour). 🚗 Next Stop: Vang Vieng (Recommended to take a minivan via the China-built highway for 150,000 LAK.) #LaosTravel #VientianeLaos #Laos #LaosTravelGuide #VientianeTravel #LaosTourism
