Save

Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is a sprawling riverside city where French colonial architecture mingles with Buddhist temples and modern development. Thakhèk is a riverside city in southern Laos with a population of around 90,800, positioned on the Mekong River. Savannakhet is Laos's second-largest city, a significant port on the Mekong River and a crossing point between Laos and Thailand. Pakse is a riverside city in southern Laos and the capital of Champasak Province.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Vientiane, Thakhèk and Savannakhet and more into a single trip, so you see more of Laos in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
