Laos Travel Forum

I have one week to do go to these 3 places. But I learned that it's recommended to take the slow boat from Huay Xai to LP, which takes around 2 days. So now I have 5 days left. Below is my original itenerary, hopefully someone can help me adjust the time on how I can do all that stuff, and maybe advice which stuff is not worth it so I can remove it from my itenerary.

Day 1: LP - Wat Xieng Thong, Royal Palace Museum, Phu-Si, Night market (optional)

Day 2: LP - Pok Ou Caves, Tat Kuang Si

Day 3: Early morning leave LP to go to VV
Afternoon - arrival at VV, bicycle at Than Phu KAm

Day 4: VV - tubing, lunch, take the bus to Vientiane (I saw the sched of the bus is 5am-4pm), arrive late at VV

Day 5: Vientiane - Wat Si Muang, ieng Khuan Buddha Park, Lao Nat'l Museum, Lotus massage (optional)

Day 6: Vientiane - Pha That Luang, Patuxai, shopping (optional)

Day 7: Leave Vientiane (I alloted the whole day for this because there's no direct flight from Vientiane to Manila, so I have to wait long for the stopover)

I'll still thinking about spending one day or 2 days in Vientiane, since I don't want to visit too many museums and temples, because I feel they are all the same to me. Another option is completely missing Vientiane, but I'm still not sure.

Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks!

Day 1 in LP sounds a lot but the town is so small you can easy wander from spot to spot the night market is lovely. Mt Pusi is in th emain street and the marke tsets up in the main street the Royal Palace is just across the road so very easy to cover all. Enjoy LP is beautiful.

Hi,

my itinerary at lp is the same like yours, I suggest you to spend more time in VV, Maybe you should go to vientiane in Day 5 morning...

enjoy!
