Wat Si Saket

Considered as one of the historic survivals of many Wat ( Pagoda) that have been built in 18th century, history buff will love this pagoda, we advice to arrive as early as possible to avoid the crowd of tourist groups. Almost all of Laos tours include a visit to Wat Si saket, so you do it as well.

Great Sacred Stupa (Pha That Luang)

Although its not located in the center of Vientiane but definitely worth a visit, the temple is a historic kind of pagoda. When grounds are sacred you can feel a presence of higher powers no matter how do you call them. Architectural master pieces of past are still well preserved.

Patuxai Monument

For many it still known as the victory monument, this prestigious monument located like the sky rise in the center of Vientiane which is surrounded by a beautiful park-land area. When visiting the Patuxai monument you can walk up and have a great panoramic view over the capital city. Fort many tourist this is a rest place as there are quite a number of shop selling coffee, and other drinking with some quick eat available.

National History Museum of Laos

Not a louvre museum but a great musum to get yourself closer to history of Laos. The subjects displays to the "US imperialists and their puppets," and are written in English and French although many items doesn’t have the translation.

Luxury Travel Laos

That’s not all but this is what we recommend for a day trip when visiting Vientiane, most of the Laos tour packages are started in capital city because there are basically better flights from Thailand and or Vietnam. You may get your Laos tourist visa upon any land border and the most visited destination in Laos are Luang Prabang which you should visit if you really want to get to know more of Ancient history and beauty of Laos.
