Consequently, a visit to Laos is like stepping back in time and the citizens have retained innocence and charm that is as rare as it is valuable. The mountains and rivers are pristine in this land-locked country, squeezed between China, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Reiserute Day 1 Start in Ubon Ratchatani for a transfer to our hotel on the banks of the Mekong River. Day 2 A short transfer takes us to the Lao border at Chongmek, and we start to cycle on a flat tarmac road, passing through colonial Champasak to Wat Phu, a Khmer Hindu temple complex dating back to the 5th century. Day 3 We catch a ferry to Don Daeng Island for a short ride in the morning. Then another ferry trip to Ban Niet Ngong and either ride or walk up to see Phu Asa, a curious site of stone towers. In the afternoon, we ferry to one of the biggest of the islands in the Mekong, Don Khong. Day 4 We island hop, taking ferries and cycling from Don Khong to Don Som to Don Det to Don Khone. We rest as we cruise by boat to try and sight the nearly extinct Irrawaddy dolphins. Day 5 After a visit to Phapeng Waterfalls, it's time to head up to the coffee growing area of Laos: the Bolaven Plateau. We stop for lunch at Tad Fane Waterfall. Then it's on the bikes to cycle to our coffee resort. Day 6 We ride to Tha Teng on a quiet tarmac road through small villages and stop at a Katou village to see how they roast coffee before we ride downhill to Tad Lo Waterfalls and our riverside overnight. Afternoon is free to take a dip in the waterfalls. Day 7 We leave the Bolaven Plateau on an undulating road with a few surprises and stop at another impressive waterfall, Tad Pha Suam. We then transfer to Pakse for a rooftop farewell dinner. Day 8 Drive back to Thailand for your onward travel.

  • Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide
    Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide Overview of Vientiane Life in Laos' modest capital flows along as languidly as the Mekong River, next to which the city is situated. Visitors will find a sprawling series of villages rather than an inter-connected urban metropolis. Laotian temples and crumbling French colonial buildings give Vientiane much of its personality, while paddy fields still dot the outlying suburbs and even penetrate the city centre in places. Narrow lanes, croissant-selling bakeries and noodle-soup vendors characterise the downtown area. Most places of interest are concentrated in a small area in the commercial district, between the bamboo-and-thatch beer gardens on the riverbank and Talaat Sao (the morning market). The area is easy to explore on foot. Tourists can also visit some fine Wats(temples), such as Wat Si Saket. Key Facts Language: Lao is the official language, but some English and French are spoken. Passport/Visa: Most foreign passengers to Laos can obtain a visa on arrival, provided that: (i) they are arriving at one of the following airports: Vientiane International, Luang Prabang, Pakse, Warray; (ii) they are holding a return/onward ticket and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination; (iii) they have a confirmed hotel reservation in Laos; and (iv) they are in possession of one photograph, size 3 x 4 cm (however, it is always recommened to travel with more than one) (v) their passport contains at least two unused visa pages. These tourist visas are valid for 30 days. Note that a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Laos, if arriving within six days of leaving or transiting through an infected area.

  • Life Is So Laidback in This Tran- Quil Paradise That Everything Seems to Slow Down on the Inhab- Ited Islands
    | TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2018 | THE STRAITS TIMES | D7 A travel series every Tuesday. The stories are also available in sgtravellers.com BON VOYAGE SPECIAL | SPH CONTENT LAB Four Thousand Islands of paradise Ryandall Lim unwinds at idyllic Si Phan Don in Laos WHILE travelling down the length of Laos, I discovered war-torn temples, dramatic karst moun- tains and thundering waterfalls. I also stepped into a nest of army ants, fell off my motor- cycle, got lost and endured bumpy and nauseating rides with chain-smoking locals, goods and quacking ducks all packed like sar- dines in songthaews (passenger mini-vans). After two weeks of off-the- beaten-track adventures, I was looking forward to relaxing at Si Phan Don, or Four Thousand Islands, at the southernmost tip of the country. The archipelago comprises thousands of big islands, tiny islets and minute sandbars that span 14km across the widest part of the 4,350km-long mighty Mekong River. Life is so laidback in this tran- quil paradise that everything seems to slow down on the inhab- ited islands. Most visitors here make their way to the biggest island, Don Khong, or the twin islands of Don Det and Don Khon that are connected by the French Bridge. To get to Don Det, I hopped on a boat at Ban Nakasang, one of several small riverside towns where boats depart for the dif- ferent islands. Once the boat fi lled up with passengers, a young boatman steered it along. CONTINUED ON D10 Raging rapids of Tat Somphamit.
