Day 3: Vientiane Departure
Welcome to Vientiane, a charming backwater capital of smiling locals and steaming noodle stalls. Upon arrival, a friendly local guide will greet you at the airport and take you to your hotel for check-in. After a short check in we take a short sightseeing trip of Vientiane, taking in some of its well-known historic sites. The Religious Museum is in the temple at Wat Sisaket. This predates the Siamese war of 1828. Its famous cloister features 6,840 ceramic and silver statues of the Buddha. Wat Ho Prakeo is the original home of the Emerald Buddha. The Emerald Buddha is no longer here but Wat Ho Prakeo still holds a fascinating collection of Buddhist statues and artifacts. Pha That Luang or The Great Stupa is a symbol of the Laos Nation. It is the most important monument in the entire country. It was built to cover an original small Stupa which holds a section of the breastbone of theBuddha. Patouxy (The Arch of Triumph) was built between 1957 and 1968 and commemorates the dead of historic wars. It has become one of the most famous landmarks of the city of Vientiane. The remainder of the day is yours to soak in the city’s rich delights.
After your breakfast your transport awaits for your day’s tour. Your Laos trip driver will take you 30km to visit the Buddha Park. This combination of Buddhist and Hindu statues was created by a mystical monk on parkland close to The Mekong River. On the way we will stop at the famous Laos / Thai Friendship Bridge. This provides good photo opportunities. We will return to Vientiane in the late afternoon. You may now relax and enjoy a quiet evening.
This morning can be spent at your leisure, until your tour guide collects you and takes you to the airport for your ongoing flight, leaving this beautiful country with many wonderful memories and stories to share with your loved ones back home.
