Lazy 48 hours guide to Vang Vieng

Vang Vieng is once known for its riverside parties, now established itself as the small adventure town of Laos. Situated between the two major cities – Luang Prabang and Vientiane, it is the perfect stopover for travellers. We took it slow by spending three days in this town but 2 full days would be just right.

How Nam Xay Viewpoint became my favourite destination in Laos

Vang Vieng is a small and idyllic town surrounded by karst hills, situated along the Nam Song river, making it one of the most picturesque towns in Laos. The best way to admire Vang Vieng’s landscape from above is hiking up one of the many hills (or you can take a hot air balloon to ascend effortlessly 800 m off the ground). Nam Xay Viewpoint (say: numb psy) is probably the most famous viewpoint for its sunrise and sunset scene….

Lazy 3 days guide to Luang Prabang

It is the perfect destination to escape any bustling city. The streets are calm all day. The markets are captivating. The temples are well decorated.

How to plan Kuang Si Falls and Pak Ou Caves in one day

Two of the best things to do in Luang Prabang are outside of the UNESCO heritage town – Pak Ou Caves and Kuang Si Falls. We efficiently arranged them in one full day to save time and some kip. Living up to our motto, you can rest assured it is not a rushed itinerary. Pak Ou Caves Entrance fee: 20,000 kip Located on the Mekong River, the caves are known to exist long before Buddhism in Laos making it one…

Lazy 24 hours guide to Ulaanbaatar

Before we arrived in Ulaanbataar (affectionately known as UB), we often see travellers reviewed the capital city subpar compared to its grasslands. We beg to differ. There are so many things in UB that captured our hearts and it deserves an extended stay with the countless exciting activities you can include in your itinerary. Overview Getting to Ulaanbaatar Getting Around Where to stay?
