Vientiane

 The boulevards and grand mansions of Laos's capital are indicative of the French influence on this part of the world. Why not start with a taste of Vientiane's international cuisine washed down with a beer Lao. Check out the famous Buddha Park and the Pha That Luang monument which is a national symbol for the Buddhist religion and the Lao sovereignty. Grab a Lao massage a the Papaya Spa and make sure you rise early next morning to stroll around the markets.
