Life is an eternal circulation of fill and re-fill of chaos and worries. Why don’t you reward yourself only a few minutes of relaxation? 3 days is more than enough for Vientiane, the city of the moon, to gift you a missing “beat” among the endless squabbles. Start your journey with Wat Sisaket, the oldest surviving monastery or former royal temple of Wat Prakeo then finish the first day with That Luang, a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa, and Patuxay Monument, the gate of Triumph. Before your return, revel in peaceful scenery over the Nam Ngum, Lao’s largest freshwater lake which is surrounded by untouched mountains and mottled with forested islands.
