Vientiane Laos - Quiet Neighbor to the North

Pha That Luang

Vientiane is located on the north-eastern bank of a bend in the Mekong River and across the river from Nong Khai, Thailand. Vietiane and Nong Khai are connected by the very first Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, which supports Train, vehicle and foot traffic. Vientiane is the capital of Laos and is a very relaxing place to visit, having a quiet night life and kind and polite people. There are a few very nice tourist destinations to see while you are there and quite easy to get to once you cross the border at the Friendship Bridge. The best way to visit these locations is with a Laos Jumbo (similar to the Thai Tuktuk), an open air vehicle powered by a motorcycle in front.
