Wow, just like what you have mentioned that Vientiane doesn't own a lot of places to explore, but reading your blog post seemed that the capital of Laos has a lot to offer. I love how you covered everything here, from their beautiful Buddha Park, Pha That Luang, and Patuxai,which I find it really interesting. I also love how you have shown their rich and colorful culture. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteI read most posts of this tour.It seems you had great 5 days around these countries.Buddha Park sounds really interesting.It seems the park is with lot of Buddha statues.Also other views are fascinating.The traditional dress of these girls are really colourful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVientiane looks like a very non-touristy place to visit where you can explore the real life of the locals. The festival you encountered sounds like something I would love to attend. I am always looking for cultural activities when I travel.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit this country also. It was in my plans before. But it didn't push through. Hopefully, I could still visit it in the future with my kids.
ReplyDeleteThis post screams tradition and culture. I saw Laos as a colorful and happy place. Something worth experiencing. It is not common to travel there but people should open their minds in visiting the place.
ReplyDeleteSeems there aren't too much attractions but I love the festivity youve seen and attended. That alone speaks more about the place's culture and way of living. And I am excited as well to try cross boarding. Seems fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the Laotian women dress up really well. Are they beautiful, yes indeed. I had never imagined that Vientiane would look so glamorous! Thanks to your effort, this city is indeed a photogenic place. Keep traveling, keep writing Maaya.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's lots to do in Laos! It was never a "must visit" place for me, but if I had the chance, of course, I would want to go! The Buddha Park doesn't look like the best park in the world, but it's still pretty... and at least they still have this park. I wish we had more parks in the Philippines. Pha Tat Luang and Patuxai look pretty amazing too. Oh, and what a fun festival! You went there at the right time, just when they were celebrating something. Free drinks and food, plus band performances? Awesome! Such a colorful and interesting place! And the costumes are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow I did not know that Laos was so interesting and colorful. I have to admit that I never considered Laos as my possible traveling destination. That is because I did not know anything about it, despite my often trips to neighboring countries.But know it looks like I might visit it after all, and possible sooner than expected.
ReplyDeleteI saw Patuxai as well from a travel blogger of mine. For me, when I visit Laos, I think it that will be the highlight too. Anyway, it's sad that the Pha That Luang is being renovated. But, at least, you got to see a festive celebration of theirs. It's such a cultural experience.
