Travel Itinerary

Boutique roaster supporting northern Lao hill-tribe farmers; grab a slow-drip single-origin and sketch the riverside view.

Cycle across the seasonal bamboo span for sweeping Mekong photos and a glimpse of local kids painting cartoon murals underneath.

Start the short climb up the city’s sacred hill—look for the hidden graffiti-covered rest shelter halfway up.

360-degree sunset vista plus a tiny hidden shrine where local teens leave paper-art offerings—perfect panorama of the peninsula’s collage of rooftops.

Lush lotus-pond setting reimagining royal Lao recipes with modern plating—order the smoked eggplant mok pa served in banana-leaf cups.

Live Lao jazz trio meets honey-infused cocktails in a candle-lit garden—relax after the day’s discoveries.

Lao-grown coffee and flaky croissants while browsing the attached craft shop run by local youth training programs.

Tiny retro theatre screening Lao indie shorts plus a mini-exhibit of 1960s film posters—chat with the volunteer projectionist for hidden-cinema stories.

Locals’ favourite weekend pop-up—grab charcoal-grilled skewers and papaya salad, then hunt for hand-painted sneakers and recycled-jewellery stalls.

Learn wax-resist dyeing from young Hmong designers and create your own street-art-inspired scarf to take home.

Slow boat back into town as the sun melts over karst hills—spot riverside murals painted on stilt houses and sip a cold Beerlao.

Closing evening pop-up exhibit of emerging Lao digital artists with free Lao-Lager tastings—pick up affordable prints before heading home.
