We know you want to take your new ride for a spin. How about taking a short trip out to Vang Vieng? Just 25 miles away, roll down your windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Among your first few stops here should be Wat Si Souman, Tham Phu Kham and Tham Nam. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Vientiane, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Pha That Luang. (But we’re also big fans of Wat Si Saket and Talat Sao.)
