This is a super outdated post that was due on November 2019. Now, the world had slow down due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, I'm hoping to catch up a bit on my writing and get the brain juice flowing for this post.
Laos is not a very popular spot in Malaysia bucket list but definitely a hot spot for Korean. They had been totally under rated by Malaysian and not a cheap destination to fly about. However, there's one thing that I am very sure of, they have attractive mother nature and much more charm than you know.
I'm not going to show you their charm as of yet in this post but recommending a few activities which should not be missed when you are there (in future). 😎
1. Hot Air Balloon (Vang Vieng)
This will probably be the cheapest place to ride a hot air balloon (USD 90 - Oct'19).
The main reason we are here in Laos is for this ride. 😂
It is all worth it to wake up as early as 0400 am to just get into this special ride.
However, there's one drawback, ONE AND ONLY, it is weather dependable.
2. Nam Xay View Point (Vang Vieng)
This is probably the most challenging task of all during our whole trip. 😉
Entrance fee is 10,000 kip which is equivalent to USD 1.50 / RM5.50 (differ according to exchange rate).
I am definitely not prepared as you can see BUT upon reaching the peak, it is worth every sweat and tears. 💃
The scenery looks like a painted drawing that came alive. 😅
3. Kuang Si(Xi) Waterfall (Luang Prabang)
A three tiered waterfall that should not be missed if you love nature.🐠
Crystal clear and emerald water is calling you to swim along with the fishes in the water.
Bring along extra cloths and it will be great to jump in and enjoy the chill cold water after a long climb uphill.
4. Sunset Boat Cruise (Luang Prabang)
We rented a private boat/cruise for our sunset ride instead of a share boat.
This is at a minimal charge of 250,000 kip (limited hours).
The view is absolutely stunning and heart warming.
Having the whole boat to ourselves is the greatest thing we had done.
We sing our heart out with the karaoke facilities on boat.
Totally a stress release pill.
