Travel to Muang Fuang, stay in Muang Fuang, raft houses in Muang Fuang. Enjoy the new popular check-in spot in Laos, 'Muang Fuang'. Stay in raft houses by the river, surrounded by beautiful green mountains and mist. Room rates are in the thousands, but the view is priceless. The atmosphere is great, enjoy a delicious barbecue. In the morning, monks come to receive alms right in front of your accommodation by boat.

My first time in Laos was overland from Thailand. My favorite city in Laos is Vientiane! A city in the middle of the countryside with nature and tourists. I rented a motorbike and went to the Blue Lagoon and mountain climbing. There were motorbikes and airplanes at the top of the mountain, and many foreigners at the photo spot! There were a lot of Westerners. There are 1 to 3 Blue Lagoons, so you can go to them according to your preference, or you can go to all of them! There is a fee to use the mountain and the lagoon, but it's only about 200 yen! It's very cost-effective. Also, I was surprised to see so many Koreans, because there was Korean everywhere! I enjoyed reading Korean, too. The food was super cheap and delicious! It suits Japanese people. The sandwiches are about 200 yen each, full of ingredients, and sold everywhere. I ate them every day. The grilled meat was delicious, and the smoothies were cheap and delicious. It's sure to be a trip that will make you forget about the weak yen! When renting a motorbike, you need to leave your passport, but they will keep it safe and return it to you when you return the motorbike, so don't worry. 📍Location: Laos

🚍🇱🇦 I went on a great adventure crossing the border overland from Vang Vieng to Vientiane, and then to Thailand🇹🇭☺️🙈❣️ It took about 3 hours to get from Vang Vieng to the Vientiane border, taking a tuk-tuk → express bus → van🚗. There is also a highway from Vang Vieng to Vientiane, so you can travel comfortably☺️ Tickets cost $10-15🚌✨ When I arrived in Vientiane, I was surprised by the atmosphere of the city, which was completely different from the idyllic atmosphere of Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng👀 From Vientiane, I crossed the border to Nong Khai in Thailand by land❣️ I felt a strange sensation when I saw a Japanese bus running on the bridge connecting the border🚌💨 It takes about an hour from leaving Laos to entering Thailand🧡 After entering Thailand, I took a taxi or bus to Nong Khai Station and then a sleeper train to Bangkok🌟 If you arrange it in advance with a hotel or tour company, you can travel smoothly😊😊 I was taken to the border for 1,700 yen❣️ #LaosTrip #VangVieng #Vientiane #BorderCrossing #ThaiTrip #TravelMemories #TravelLover #I want to connect with people who love to travel #Southeast Asia travel #Backpacker #Laos #Zero yen travel

Laos has a lot of temples as it is a Southeast Asian country. Laos has some very large temples, but you can find small temples in front of each house. The large temples were especially magnificent. I think this trip allowed me to experience the temple culture of Laos, which I had never experienced in Korea.! These are photos I took while visiting a temple in Vientiane, Laos. Especially on a day with a clear sky and beautiful clouds, I was able to take even more beautiful photos👍👍

I was able to have breakfast at Muong Thanh Luxury Vientiane Hotel. I made the reservation through Trip.com, and the lowest price guarantee and breakfast included were very attractive. The breakfast was buffet style, so I could choose a variety of foods to suit my taste and eat as much as I wanted, which was very attractive!!

Address: Don Noun, Laos Atmosphere/Facilities: Recently built and opened high-speed railway! The scale, facilities, and environment are all amazing Key Points: It has dramatically shortened the travel time from Vien Luang to 2 hours, making it a must-have transportation for travelers in Benin! However, the ticket reservation system is somewhat complicated, and the station itself is on the outskirts of the city, so most people use a reservation agency Average price per person: The seats are divided into VIP 1st and 2nd class, but the 2nd class that I rode was also very comfortable Rating: ☆☆☆☆ out of 5 stars It would be really nice if the ticket reservation method was improved. I highly recommend riding it when you come to Laos.

we spent five nights staying in the capital off Laos Vientiane with beautiful views off the mekong River. we visited the museum at the former Ho Pha Keo temple. We also visited the beautiful Patuxay monument celebrating Loas independence from the French. Along with finding beautiful French colonial buildings along with finding beautiful street art and visiting aThat dam stuppa. It's definitely worth a visit #urbanexplorer

Blue Lagoon is another recommended place for everyone to visit when you arrive in Vang Vieng. There are many Blue Lagoons here, but we chose the second one and it was as expected. It is very beautiful. The entrance fee is 20,000 kip (40 baht). When you enter, there will be many seating areas for you to choose from, such as pavilions and sunbathing areas. The center area is a beautiful blue natural pool. The highlight is the jumping point. Test your courage here. There is also a slide on the side for us to play. For those who don't want to get wet all over, you can sit and soak your feet here. #TravelAbroad #MissNature #TravelLaos #VangVieng #Laos

Vientiane seems to be seeing an increase in state-of-the-art hotels due to urbanization and tourism, but the old-established hotels in the city center provide meticulous service, a sense of security, and a luxurious feeling. I think the Lao Plaza Hotel is one of a kind. When you enter the lobby, you will be greeted by a massive, traditional Lao tower! The front desk staff are also very hospitable, and the check-in is elegant. The location is quiet, but it is only a few minutes' walk from Talat Sao, the bus terminal, and Nambu Square. The breakfast has a wide variety of options. You can also walk to the Mekong River. I was surprised to see how dry it is during the dry season! It's nice to spend some time elegantly in an old-established hotel!

This bakery cafe is located a little way from the center of Vientiane. The exterior and interior are beautiful, and it's frequented by both tourists and people on their lunch breaks at work. I ordered a croissant, cream bun, and Americano for 50,000 kip (about 500 yen), so I guess it's on the cheaper side for a nice cafe. The wifi is about 6-9 mpbs, I think. I personally found it a very comfortable cafe.

Chiang Khuan Cultural Park, Buddha Park is a famous sculpture park with many statues. Siang Buddha Park has more than 200 Hindu and Buddhist Buddha statues, including a 40-meter-high reclining Buddha, which is not far from the capital city of Vientiane. It is located 25 km from the capital city of Vientiane in the grasslands along the Mekong River. Siang Khuan Buddha Park is located in Hat Yai Subdistrict, Vientiane Province, Laos. The temple was built in 1958 by Luang Pu Bunluea. The atmosphere inside is good and very beautiful. Open for visits from 8:00-17:00. #historicculture #staycation

#solotravel Laoderm Restaurant is well-known for specialises in authentic Lao cuisine infused with homey, traditional of flavours of Laos. We have just follow and come to this restaurant because of some reviews on the internet, and we tried their new menu of Lao Cuisine, that is very tasty and we love the food very much, also enjoying the The elegant & classic décor, adds to its warm and cosy ambience, while knowledgeable staff are at hand to help. Open for dine in and also can take away. Address - Wat chan village, Khun BuLom Rd, Vientiane, Laos. Open hour from: 9:00 am - 10:00pm #solotravel #foodie #vientiane

Wat Xieng Kwan, Xieng Kwan means the city of spirits. Another popular place that has received a lot of attention from tourists visiting Laos, Vientiane, is Wat Xieng Kwan. It is about 25 kilometers from Vientiane, about 3 kilometers past the Laos-Thailand Friendship Bridge. It is a garden of Buddha built in 1958. Inside, there are statues of Vishnu, Shiva, and many other statues. #historicculture #vientiane #laos

Blue Lagoon 3 In my opinion, going to play in the water at all 3 Blue Lagoons has its own charm and beauty. But if you ask me which one I like and am most impressed with, I would say that I am most impressed with Blue Lagoon 3 because the view is beautiful and the water is very clear. Most importantly, there are many activities to do, such as ziplining, kayaking, floating on a rubber ring, and playing in the water. Every activity is fun and exciting. #MissingNature #Mr.Tourist #MissingNature

🍲 Food and Local Food Tours When it comes to Lao food in Vientiane, which is similar to Thai food, especially our northeastern food (such as Ubon, Khon Kaen, Nong Khai, etc.), there are many familiar menus with very similar tastes.

#Rainy season destinations 🌳 Angnamtong Reservoir: Angnamtong View Resort, Muang Fuang 🇱🇦 ☘️🍃 (Angnamtong ViewResort Muang Fuang) Accommodation on the edge of the Tong Reservoir, good atmosphere, super beautiful view, in Muang Fuang, Laos 🇱🇦 Muang Fuang is a small town full of nature and the traditional way of life of the Lao people. Getting here is a bit difficult, especially for those traveling alone like us. Therefore, there is only one option for traveling here, which is to take a local bus, like taking a car to send a friend home 🤣 The buses here are cute. The car will take every passenger to their house. No matter where your house is, the car will take you there. And we dropped everyone off in front of our house. We were the only ones left to go to Ang Nam Tong, which is about 30 kilometers away from Muang Fuang. No wonder why it took 3 hours for just over a hundred kilometers 🤣🤣.... And we arrived. This is a Nordic-style house for 500 baht per night, but booking it is as difficult as the route we took. The only way to book here is via WhatsApp, which is to leave a message and wait for them to reply. Be patient and wait a bit. Angnamtong ViewResort Muang Fuang The accommodation here has air conditioning, a water heater, a good bed, a clean room, and the price is very cheap. >> This place sells food and drinks. Just come with your body and money >> Overall, it's very good. The beauty is 10 out of 10, but the walk is a bit difficult. If you're not an adventurer, you might complain a little.

📍PUN CAFE Vientiane Station, part of the China-Laos Railway 🚃, was the station I used when traveling from Vientiane to Luang Prabang 🙆♀️. The railway is often fully booked, especially close to departure, and I heard that the station has airport-level baggage checks. So, I made sure to arrive at the station with plenty of time to spare 🏃♂️. In reality, the baggage check was quick, leaving me with about an hour and a half of waiting time 😂. There were several cafés at the station, and given how well-equipped the station was, I expected airport-level prices. Hesitantly, I checked the menu and was pleasantly surprised by the affordability 👏. I ordered an Oreo Matcha Milk, which cost 48,000 kip (around 300 yen)! What's more, it was handmade rather than machine-made 😻. The matcha flavor was rich and exceeded my expectations 🍵💓. The café also offered WiFi 🛜.

#Accommodation under a hundred There are many zones of accommodation, both mountain views, river views, and nature views, which I must say are all beautiful and worth staying in. The atmosphere is quiet, shady, clean, and safe. We chose to stay in the camping zone, and got it for 980 baht per house. You can pay in Thai cash. There were 4 of us, father, mother, and children. Children were not charged extra. The bathroom is shared (but on the day we went, there was a camping zone, and we stayed in only one house, so we rented the entire bathroom). This price includes breakfast, which is a set, which is very filling. We ate until we were full. If anyone has plans to travel to Vang Vieng, we recommend staying here. You will wake up refreshed in the morning. The staff are friendly and provide great service. They will always ask if you need anything else. They will also recommend nearby attractions and driving directions. You can contact them via whatsapp: 020 57263163. Angsavan, Vang Vieng, Lao PDR # Vang Vieng # Laos # Travel on your own

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี 🇱🇦I am one of those people who, when I see beautiful reviews, 🇱🇦 So I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Vangvieng Angsavanh - ວັງວຽງອ່າງສະຫວັນ The accommodation in Vang Vieng that we chose because the reviews were beautiful, so we came. 💸It is a large 2-story room that can accommodate 4-5 people. The accommodation fee is 920 baht per person. When we arrived at the accommodation, it was almost dark. The accommodation was quite cool and comfortable. The room was clean. The bed was soft. I slept soundly. There was a bathtub on the balcony, but the water was very cold, so we didn't soak. We came during the time when the rice was harvested. So I didn't see the beautiful rice fields. 🚩Things to know 🚘The accommodation is about 20 kilometers from Vang Vieng city. The journey is quite far and the road is not very good. If you come in, you shouldn't go anywhere. 🍲There is dinner for sale. The food is very delicious and not expensive. 🧊The drinking water provided in the room is not enough. You have to go to the reception to press or buy more from the staff. 🍳🥖In the morning, there is American Breakfast, but it is not delicious. The day we went, the ketchup ran out. 🏠The room has air conditioning, a hair dryer, and a water heater, so don't worry. 🏞The accommodation is located at Blue Lagoon 3 #WhereToGo #painaigopaii #TravelLaos #LuangPrabang #VangVieng #Vientiane #ຫຼວງພະບາງ #ວັງວຽງ #ວຽງຈັນ #angsavahn

To Luang Prabang and Vientiane in Laos. It is a country with a laid-back atmosphere. In Luang Prabang, I was able to see begging from the morning. I was happy to see a sight that I can't see in Japan. I was also shown the Kuang Si Falls, which had so much water that it was very impressive. And the juice I drank at the night market was made on the spot, very delicious, and I was happy that the staff served me with a smile. In Vientiane, the Patuxai, a monumental triumphal arch, stood majestically, creating a magnificent landscape. Also, in the evening, a small amusement park appeared along the river, giving me a nostalgic and Showa-era atmosphere. Laos has a Showa-era atmosphere and you can spend your time there in a very relaxed and calm atmosphere. There aren't that many tourists, and urbanization is not as advanced as other Southeast Asian countries, so if you want to feel nostalgic, I recommend Laos. #Spring0yenTrip

Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is one of the most peaceful and calm cities in Southeast Asia🏛️✨ This city spreads along the Mekong River, and there are few high-rise buildings. It is dotted with colonial architecture that evokes the French colonial era and majestic Buddhist temples, and time flows at a leisurely pace🌅🌿 A must-see when visiting Vientiane is Patuxai (Arc de Triomphe)**✨ This monument, modeled after the French Arc de Triomphe, is decorated in a Lao style and offers a panoramic view of the city from the top🏙️🌤️ In addition, That Luang, which can be said to be a symbol of Lao Buddhism, is a majestic temple with a beautiful golden pagoda🏯✨ This building, built in the 16th century, is so important that it is depicted on Lao banknotes, and its shining appearance in the morning and evening light is a masterpiece 💛🌞 In the city, you can also find Wat Si Muang, with its impressive reclining Buddha, and the unique **Buddha Park (Wat Xieng Khuang)**, where numerous Buddha statues are lined up, allowing you to deeply experience the Buddhist culture of Laos 🙏✨ At the night market along the Mekong River, you can enjoy the local atmosphere with local street food, traditional Lao textiles, silk products, and more 🌮🛍️ At dusk, we recommend taking a walk along the river and watching the beautiful sunset 🌇✨ Vientiane is not flashy, but it has a nostalgic feel to it, making it the perfect city to enjoy a relaxing time 🌏💙 #Laos #tripOverseas travel
