If you had a week in Laos........?
It may be that we have 7 - 9 nights to spend in Laos. Will probably fly into LP & would like one other destination. Vientiane is not jumping out at me. Thinking more to head somewhere north of LP. We love culture, small towns, temples & just seeing the countryside. This would probably happen in late November. We don't want to do a multi day trek. I have read some things about the elephant camp but am not too sure about this although I have read some good reports here it seems the reports are from people with kids?? Any one have any suggestions of another destination & how to divide up the time? Thanks in advance. J

Jules, I know there have been a couple of reports here on Lao Spirit, and I thought I remembered one on Kamu, but I'm afraid I can't find it. The Boat Landing I remember as being the one that seemed most intriguing to me, but it is quite a ways away from LP.

I would certainly spend 2 days in Vientiane and the rest of the time in LP. There is a lot to see in and do in Vientiane.
If are dead set against Vte, (why?), i would make a trip to Phonsavahn, the Plain of Jars. This is a fascinating area and I am surprised no one has mentioned it to date.
