If you're visiting Vientiane, Laos, make sure to stay overnight and check out the "Night Market." Vientiane, often referred to as the world's most uneventful capital, is actually a city full of unique charm. While some travelers opt for a day trip to other cities or Luang Prabang, I highly recommend spending a night here and exploring the Night Market along the Mekong River. The market offers a distinct atmosphere you won't find in Japan, with street stalls selling everything from mysterious, unbelievably cheap daily goods and clothing to unique items whose origins are unknown. Unlike other Southeast Asian night markets, you won't find many stalls selling typical souvenirs here, which adds to its uniqueness. In addition to the area selling daily necessities, there are food stalls and even a small carnival-like section with games and rides, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults alike. 📍 Location: Vientiane, Laos

📍 Itinerary Overview of how I spent exactly 24 in Vientiane 🚩 Sightseeing Route I arrived at 12 pm midday - I first went to the Patuxay Monument. It was cool to see and the ceiling was beautiful. You can pay a small fee to climb up it to see a viewpoint of Vientiane. Then I went to the Cope museum - this was definitely a must do in Vientiane. And it only takes 30-45 minutes, but you learn a lot and support a very good cause and charity that is actually making an impact on UXO survivors. Then I went to Phat That Lang - gorgeous golden temple you can walk around. Only 30 minutes needed here. And there is a market just outside. Then I went to get a massage and dinner. The following morning I booked a half day tie dye Shibori and weaving workshop at the Houey Hong centre and in just 3 hours you create the best two souvenir. I was the only one there so I had a private lesson. Started at 9am and finished by 12 noon. Then I went to the train station and got in the Laos China railway to Vang Vieng 10/10 🚇 Transportation I used Loca and InDrive bike and car to get everywhere - both great apps and services. And ensures you don’t get scammed. Definitely the way to go. Let me know if you have anymore questions about prices of these places etc.

They are always smiling and helpful. On the 8th floor, there is a laundry room. You can exchange coins at the front desk and there is a swimming pool. If you bring your own car, you have to park on the side of the road. Tell the cashier that you are staying here, room number..... If they don't believe you, they can go and collect the parking fee from the hotel. Be careful because many Lao cars can put the car in reverse and reverse without looking behind you. If you are waiting to park, you may have to be careful of other cars that are about to reverse. #vientiane #Vientiane #cosihotel #Cosivientiane #centarahotels #pay for yourself

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck Built a temple to enshrine Phra Chao Ong Tue, which is a large Buddha statue cast in bronze. His Majesty ordered that it be cast together with 4 other Buddha statues: Phra Ong Tue, Phra Suk, Phra Sai, and Phra Soem, so it is called "Wat Ong Tue" until today. The characteristics of Phra Chao Ong Tue are: a rather large face, large eyes narrowed down, a large nose, wide lips, and relatively large hands, which are considered a unique style of Lan Xang Buddha statues. The body is tall, similar to the later Lan Xang Buddha statues. Phra Ong Tue was cast with a very heavy weight of gold (1 Tue = 1000 kilograms). For this reason, this Buddha statue is called Phra Ong Tue. Wat Ong Tue Maha Viharn is a temple located in Vientiane, Laos. 🕰️bOpening hours: 5 am to 9:45 pm every day. No admission fee. #wattosann

“Laos Temple Run” may refer to an adventure game, movie plot, or travel experience set in Lao Buddhist temples (such as **Wat Xieng Thong** and **Pha That Luang**). Here are some possible explanations and related content: --- ### **1. Laotian version of the game "Temple Run"?** - The classic parkour game "Temple Run" is mostly set in Southeast Asia (such as Angkor Wat), but there is no official Laotian version. - **Laotian elements**: If there are fan-made creations or MODs, the following scenes may be incorporated: - **Wat Xieng Thong**: A famous temple in Luang Prabang with gem-encrusted murals and golden pagodas. - **Pha That Luang, Vientiane**: A golden pagoda, the national symbol of Laos. - **Jungles and caves**: Such as the karst landform of **Vang Vieng**, which is suitable for "escape" scenes. --- ### **2. "Laos Temple Adventure" in movies or novels** - **"Tomb Raider" style**: There are hidden ancient temples in Laos (such as the ruins near the **Plain of Jars**), which are suitable as exploration themes. - **Horror/suspense themes**: Southeast Asian temples are often combined with supernatural legends (such as the "Naga" snake god and monk secrets). --- ### **3. Real-life Laos temple adventure experience** - **Luang Prabang**: After the morning alms giving ceremony, you can explore multiple temples, but you should pay attention to: - **Taboos**: Do not touch Buddha statues, and dress decently (covering shoulders and knees). - **Secret Realm Recommendation**: - **Wat Phu**: A World Heritage Site, Khmer-style ruins, located in Champasak Province. - **Buddha Park in Vientiane**: Covered with giant and bizarre statues, suitable for taking "adventure" photos. --- ### **4. Travel safety tips** - **"Escape" requires caution**: Laos has good public security, but there may be unexploded bombs (remnants of the Vietnam War) in remote areas. Do not enter undeveloped areas without permission. - **Best experience**: Participate in a guided **jungle trek** or **Mekong River exploration** to legally and safely experience the "adventure" atmosphere. --- If you need more specific game or movie recommendations, or a Laos travel guide, please tell me your interests!

#Travel by train Laos-China high-speed rail Address - Vientiane, Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang, Laos I must first explain that before I traveled to Laos, there was no high-speed train. When going to various cities such as Vang Vieng or Luang Prabang, you had to take a bus or if anyone is more comfortable taking a plane, you can go to Luang Prabang, but Vang Vieng does not have it. You have to take a bus from Vientiane to Vang Vieng, then continue to Luang Prabang, which takes many hours and the roads are not very good. But now, in addition to the expressway to Vang Vieng, Laos also has a high-speed, double-track train from Vientiane to Vang Vieng and then to Luang Prabang easily. This time, I will try taking a train to travel for 3 days and 2 nights and travel as well. Actually, I have to travel from Vientiane to Vang Vieng, but because I did not have any information beforehand, I thought I could buy a ticket at the event. But it turned out that I had to book it 1 day in advance, so I had to change my plan to take a bus on the expressway to Vang Vieng. And the next day, we took a seat from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang by booking a ticket 1 day in advance. The shop that accepts bookings in Vang Vieng booked for us and told us a little about the price. Vang Vieng station is a little far from Vang Vieng city. We hired a car to take us there. Vang Vieng station is very beautiful and magnificent. The interior is decorated with a high ceiling hall with chairs, toilets, shops and coffee shops. Before the train arrives, there will be an announcement from the station to prepare to check tickets before boarding the train. The train from the outside is quite new. There will be a car number displayed on an LED light for us to follow to the boarding point of the train car. Inside the train, there will be seats on 2 sides of the center aisle, but the seats are not the same size. One side has 3 rows and the other side has 2 rows. On top, there is a fairly large and wide luggage storage area, including space for large bags at the front and back of the car. The seats are comfortable and can be reclined a little. The air conditioning is very cool. The speed of the train is much faster than Thai trains because it is an electric train. Riding the Lao train will give you a very natural atmosphere. Along the way, there will be mountains and trees, including alternating with tunnels that go through many mountains. The time from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang is only about 45-50 minutes. After arriving in Luang Prabang, Luang Prabang station is similar but a little bigger, there are more shops and more people. The inside of the station is clean. After that, we booked tickets at the station to return from Luang Prabang to Vientiane the next day. Luang Prabang train station is located further from the city than Vang Vieng. On the return day, we waited for the train before the scheduled time with the tickets we booked yesterday. When the train arrived, we got on our own carriage. As usual, there were two rows of seats, one on the third row and one on the second row, but this time, the seats were switched left and right. The seats were different colors from the last time. There were quite a few people returning from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. We returned at 1:30 PM. As usual, we experienced the atmosphere along the way, mountains, trees, and houses that still retain their natural surroundings, as well as dozens of tunnels. The train was quite steady and did not shake, so we slept very comfortably. There was a bathroom in the carriage, and there were also staff pushing carts to sell souvenirs and food. It takes about 2 hours from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. Advice: For those who want to try taking the high-speed train in Laos, you must find a place to book tickets first. You cannot buy tickets at the event and get on. You must allow plenty of time. It is similar to checking in for a plane flight. Including traveling from the city to many stations, which is quite far, but you must allow plenty of time.
