another famous monument is Patuxai. It was build to celebrate the indipendence from France and it is said it was never fully completed yet.

more views from the top of Patuxia - it is also a nice garden. Sadly the fountain didn't work.

BeerLao and a local rice liquor.
BeerLoa got one of my favorite beer. Well, I am not sure if I am maybe glorifying it since I couldn't have it since then. Try it and tell me your opinion.

Overall Vientiane was nice. Sometimes it feels a bit like a small Bangkok. We also went to most places by foot and used sometimes a taxi. Main things are all very close.

Next step after Vientiane was Vangvieng.
Stay tuned for it

Sort:  

Somehow the garden which was built for the independence from France seems French style.
I like the shape of a praying monk made by metal.
The most I'm interested in is that beer. Lol

Impressive photos!

Laos is a beautiful an underappreciated country.. And the language is so sweet! Kop jai lai lai!!
