Laos is a country that still has a lot to offer the visitor, in Southeast Asia it has always been among the least visited with slightly more visitors than Burma. Anyone wishing to leave the traditional tourist routes will find in Laos an extremely welcoming country with wonderful natural riches, without the crowds of tourists from Thailand or Malaysia. Today we travel to Vientiane which is often considered the largest village in Asia. Far from the frenzy of most capitals, Vientiane exudes the relaxed and charming atmosphere of small towns. An eclectic mix of colonial settlements and ancient temples mingle with the colors of the markets. Located on the banks of the Mekong, the capital of Laos Vientiane is the center of all excursions in the country, whether for a departure by road or boat. 10% of the total population of Laos live in Vientiane, i.e. nearly 716,000 inhabitants. Vientiane is a surprising city. Rice fields and vegetable fields hide behind its tree-lined avenues. French colonial architecture blends with golden-roofed temples. Do not miss the visit of the Stupa That Luang as well as that of the Wat Sisaket and Wat Phrakeo temples, the markets of Vientiane and why not the astonishing “Buddha Park” outside of Vientiane.
