If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we can help out. Situated 25 miles away, Vang Vieng is worth hopping in the car for. Wat Si Souman, Tham Phu Kham and Tham Nam alone justify the drive out here. Don’t skip Vientiane either! Just 40 miles away, Pha That Luang, Wat Si Saket and Talat Sao are essential stops here.
