My first trip abroad in Laos, Vientiane
: Laos 
change your language
 |
I took my first trip abroad when I turned 17 years old. This was a very budget trip because It was my frist trip to Laos. If you are Thai, I would recommend you to start your first experience here.
Traveling In Laos is something exotic for foreigners because there are many beautiful sceneries and There are still quite a lot of places in Laos that have not yet been explored.
This is why you should come to Laos.
This place gave me a new vision from the place where I'm living. Even though I took just a little time to be here but and there are still more places where I wanted to go.
I couldn't remember the whole trip because It was long time ago but I will try to bring some photos for you to see.

How to get across the border?Check the passport requirements if you are subject to visa requirements, you should apply for your visa. In many cases tourists are allowed to get in with their own passport or can get a visa on arrival in Laos if they are traveling for tourism.Things you should do when getting across the border- Take the bus from the immigration (if you get to laos through Nong khai) All buses crossing the brigde stop right next to the immigration.

The took took In Nongkai to the immigration. It's negotiable.

Some tips and suggestions for traveling
1. There are many motorbike rental places for around $10 a day. It’s the best way to explore the city and easy to get to other places. I did that and it was really fun.
2. There’s a morning market in here located somewhere near the shopping mall. Ask you local people and don’t be afraid that they are going to bite you. They are extremely nice and willing to help you.
3. The night market near the river is somehow exotic for tourtists to see people selling things they have never seen.
4. Don’t forget to try local foods or soy milk. Each evening many young people gather to drink soymilk somewhere near the night market. Many flavored soy milk drinks are available at the shop. Grap one and taste it!
5. If you like walking like me, Try to study a lot of the map and get to the place where you want to go on foot.
