Laos Travel Guide A Vagabond Life

Lovely Laos is just a gem and one of my favourite places on earth. We have travelled the length of this lovely country by boat, bus and mini van, it is such a special country to visit. Luang Pra Bang in the north is a great place to hang out for a few days and popular with travellers coming down the Mekong on a river boat. The Slow Boat trip from Huay Xia to Luang Pra Bang is highly recommended.

Vertical Runway Vientianne
The Vertical Runway or Patuxay is a Gate of Triumph erected as a memorial to the Laotians that lost their lives in the Indochina war. It was built with concrete given to Laos by America to build a runway hence the nick name the Vertical runway.
Pak Ou Cave
Pak Ou Cave is about 25 KM un river from Luang Pra Bang and consists of two caves filled with hundred of small Budha Statues. to reach to caves you need to climb a steep path but once at the top[ the view is well worth the effort.
Kong Lor Cave
Travel by boat through a 7km cave - often in pitch dark - to reach a remote village on the other side. Stop along the way to see the stalagmites and stalactites in a cave the locals hide in when America carpet bombed the country in the 70's.
