Vientiane

Vientiane is the capital of Laos and has a lot of interesting things to do and go and see. The triumph moment signifying the Laotian liberation of French colonial rule was cool to see, especially the parallels to the French triumph moment. There is also a night marked in Vientiane but it was more cheap mass produced things rather than local produced and not much of a

Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is an old city, sitting on the banks of the Mekong River. Filled with old French colonial architecture, it is a good place to visit. Laotian food is explicitly good and visiting the restaurants and eating the local cuisine was a hightail. The night market contains a lot of cheap but nice things to buy, clothes, paintings, and other stuff. Also the food there was super good.

Best Experiences

Eating Laos sausage, traveling around the different places with a big pickup truck. Sitting on the edge of the Mekong and enjoying a coffee. Make your own armband.

Food

Laos sausage. This is one of my favorites.

The national dish is Larb, which is a meat salad. It is flavored with mint leaves and is quite a hot dish. Usually enjoyed with sticky rice. Also, Mango sticky rice is a must.
