Time to explore would be nice, it’s a safe place and people are extra friendly. It’s far more laid back than Say Vietnam and Cambodia

Really chilled capital with wonderfully friendly people and good food. Probably a bit quiet if you're looking for a party though.

Vientiane was lovely! There is lots to do there but it isn’t a destination for gap year travellers ! There was enough to do around the hotel though :) There is also really easy access to transport to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang!
