Vientiane
Laos's gentle capital on the Mekong, home to the golden stupa of Pha That Luang.
- Best season
- November to February
Vientiane is a capital that never hurries. We visit Pha That Luang and Wat Si Saket, then walk the Mekong promenade in the evening, when the night market sets up along the river.
