What To Do In Vientiane In 3 Days ? Review 3 Days In Vientiane, Laos From Mrs Jones

1. Day 1: Pha That Luang - Patuxay monument - That Dam - Wat Si Saket - COPE Visitor Centre 

My 3 days in Vientiane itinerary journey to Laos began with a visit to Pha That Luang, a towering golden stupa considered the national symbol of Laos. It's so tall and shiny, and it's like it holds all the stories of Laos from long, long ago. It made me feel like I was stepping back in time to when kings ruled and big empires thrived.

After that, I was amazed by a trip to the grand Patuxay monument, which is like a big arch resembling the one in Paris called the Arc de Triomphe. It's decorated with detailed sculptures showing stories from Lao mythology, which gave me a peek into their rich culture.

Then, I visited That Dam, a serene pagoda surrounded by beautiful greenery. Inside, I admired the intricate mosaics on the walls, which depicted stories from Buddhism. The atmosphere was calm, filled with a sense of quiet worship, and I felt a peacefulness within me. I decided to explore culinary delights on my own for dinner in Noy's Fruit Heaven, one of the best restaurants in Vientiane.

As the day progresses, my 3 days in vientiane head towards Wat Sisaket, the oldest remaining temple in Vientiane that attracts many tourists to visit this “land of million elephants”. At the end of my first day, I visited the Cope Visitor Center, which is packed with information about Laos's issue with unexploded bombs and mines. Here, I learned a lot about UXO, the destruction they cause, and the help COPE provides to those affected. I had dinner on my own, and then I settled in for an overnight stay in Vientiane.

2. Day 2 : Lao National Museum - Buddha Park - Wat Si Muang - Ho Phra Keo - Vientiane night market 

I started my second day of vientiane 3-day itinerary at the Lao National Museum, where I got to check out some really cool ancient artefacts. These artefacts helped me know more about Laos's history, the traditions still practised today.  From ancient pottery to stunning fabrics, each display gave me a glimpse into the heart of this captivating country.
Seeking relief from the scorching midday sun, I found solace in the serene oasis of Buddha Park. The park was vast, filled with numerous Buddha statues to admire. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, a refreshing escape from the bustling city life.

What to do in Vientiane in 3 days? A visit to Vientiane wouldn't be complete without a stop at Wat Si Muang, a revered temple housing an ancient Buddha statue. Kneeling in front of the weathered figure, I felt a sense of tranquillity wash over me, surrounded by the murmurs of prayers and the gentle clinking of alms bowls.

Transitioning from spiritual reflection to royal grandeur, I explored Ho Phra Keo, one of the best Vientiane temples, the former royal temple in Laos.  The temple sparkles with mosaics and golden surfaces. Looking at it, we see the majesty of the Lao dynasty. Gentle Buddha statues bring a feeling of peace.

The perfect end to my day is immersing  myself in the lively atmosphere of the Vientiane Night Market. The air buzzed with the chatter of vendors and the tempting scents of local cuisine. I chose to enjoy meat skewers, fragrant sticky rice, cool coconut water, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this market.

3. Day 3 : White Lotus Massage - Talat Sao Morning Market - Departure  

On my last day of my 3 days in vientiane trip, I treated myself to a soothing White Lotus massage, which left me feeling calm and refreshed. It was the perfect way to start my final adventure - exploring the bustling Ta Tat Lat morning market.

Strolling through the market stalls, I bought some souvenirs such as silk scarves, intricately carved wooden elephants, and vibrant lacquer items as souvenirs of my trip. I ate my lunch at the hotel and packed my luggage to return to my country , ending a memorable 3-day trip to Vientiane.

My vientiane 3-day itinerary adventure wasn't just about ticking off landmarks; it was an immersion into a culture steeped in history, resilience, and spiritual essence. The kindness of the locals, the vibrant markets, the serene temples, and the delicious cuisine - all these elements combined to create an unforgettable experience. So, dear reader, if you seek a journey that transcends the mundane and touches your soul, then consider Laos. Let its vibrant tapestry unfold before you. 
I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Autour Asia, especially Mrs Eliese for arranging such a wonderfully meaningful and professionally executed trip. The meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful itinerary made my Vientiane 3-day itinerary not just enjoyable but also deeply enriching. Thank you for providing me with a memorable and flawlessly planned experience.

A 2-day farm tour in Vietnam for an insight into everyday rural life

To discover Vietnam from a different perspective, I chose a 2-day Vietnam farm tour, far from the usual tourist routes. My goal was simple: to leave the big cities behind, understand the daily life of local farmers, and take part in activities I had never experienced before. Rather than moving from one monument or guided tour to another, I wanted to slow down, observe, learn, and connect with local people. With the help of a local travel agency in Hanoi, I was able to plan an experience centered around rural life, traditional farming practices, and shared meals with local families. Here is what I took away from these two days.

A 2-week trip through Northern and Central Vietnam, with plenty of experiences without rushing

I’ve just returned from 2 weeks in Central and North Vietnam, and I’m left with the feeling that I discovered several different sides of the country without spending most of my time on the road. Before leaving, I was mainly looking for a varied itinerary combining major cultural sites, beautiful scenery, and enough free time to enjoy each destination at my own pace. From Hanoi to Hoi An, with stops in Ninh Binh, Lan Ha Bay, and Hue, each place had its own atmosphere and experiences to offer. Here is my personal feedback on this 2 weeks in Central and North Vietnam trip, including the moments that stayed with me and a few tips I would give another traveler today. Organizing the trip with a local travel agency in Hanoi also gave me greater peace of mind throughout the journey.

Planning this Thailand Vietnam itinerary 3 weeks was one of the best travel decisions I've ever made. Instead of choosing between these two incredible countries, I spent 9 days in Thailand and 12 days in Vietnam, discovering everything from delicious food and rich culture to beautiful natural landscapes.
