Going Around Thakhek

As we all know, Laos was once a colony of French colonialists in the early 20th century, and Thakhek is one of the ancient cities that still retains historical imprints of that period.

When coming to Thakhek, visitors will have the opportunity to experience life in romantic French-style houses located on the Mekong River. Not as vibrant as many other areas of this country, Thakek has an ancient feature with architectural works from the French colonial period. Besides, the aesthetic of nature also contributes to making visitors feel more comfortable. This is the ideal destination for people who love to explore and experience. Just by renting a motorbike in the city, you can easily visit Wat SiKhottabong, Khammaounae museum, Lak Sao town, and many other attractive places.

Muang Ngoi Neua Village

With a peaceful and idyllic beauty, Muang Ngoi Neua village, located in Northern Laos, attracts more and more tourists every year.  Specifically, this is a small town located about 170km northeast of Luang Prabang.
