We go to the Vang Vieng area a lot. It's 3 hours North of Vientiane and oh so much prettier.
Biggest piece of advice for anyone heading there is to pick up a "Hobo Map". They're 25,000 kip ($3) and mark every major attraction, restaurant, hotel, etc. And apparently they're updated pretty regularly, which is good because Vang Vieng, like everywhere in Laos, is in a state of constant change.
Wats, pedestrian-friendly streets, and picturesque mountains.
Lots of dirt roads. Thank God we have a truck- other options are tuk tuks, walking, biking, dune buggies or scooters. I'd be nervous taking our super crappy Kias.
Also they have hot air balloons. And a river.
Pretty pretty pretty.
