Vientiane
Vientiane captivates with its laid-back charm, where golden stupas rise against the sky and French-colonial facades whisper tales of the past. Marvel at the sacred Pha That Luang, stand beneath the grand Patuxai, or lose yourself in the serenity of Wat Sisaket’s ancient halls. As the sun dips, the Mekong riverside comes alive with bustling markets and local flavors waiting to be savored.

Vientiane is the capital of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, however with a population of approximately 500,000 people is probably the most laid-back capital in Asia. Located on the majestic Mekong River with Thailand across on the other bank, Vientiane (translated as 'sandalwood city') dates from the 10th century but has been the capital of Laos from the early 16th century to the present. At various times throughout its history, Vientiane was controlled by Siamese, Burmese, Khmers, and more recently the French, and now displays a mix of many influences, including Laotian, French, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese.
