We were staying at xuanmai guest house so decided to try the cooking class. Ms Ngoc was very flexible and we chose an afternoon when we were free. We chose to cook 2 dishes (price 30, 000Kip for the two of us. More for more dishes) We cooked caramelised fish (Vietnamese) and sea food Pat Thai. We prepared them ourselves under supervision with excellent instructions from Ms Ngoc. We now plan to cook the food for our friends when we return from holiday and she promised we could message her with any questions. Highly recommend

Wat Phu

The religious complex of Vat Phou, a combination of Khmer architecture and Hindu religion, is located at the foot of Champasak mountains, with the Phou Kao (the sacred mountain with a natural form as a Linga - symbol of Gof Shiva). This complex was built during the first part of the 11th century, with some additions and reconstructions in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some inscriptions belonging to the fifth and sixth century AD do mention a sanctuary built on the hill, together with the foundation of the city, but this building has disappeared and was replaced by the religious complex that we see today. A museum and interpretative room should be visited on the site. Vat Phou is on the list of Unesco World Heritage since 2001. The archeological restauration/conservation of the site is managed by Vat Phou office. The tourism management is managed by Yingchokchai Company, which provides to the tourists quality services (shuttle, toilets, handicrafts shop, coffee shop, wifi, parking...).

If you visited Angkor before Vat Phu, you will certainly be a little disappointed. Nevertheless, the surroundings of the temple are beautiful and the site is much less touristic than Angkor. Go there early in the morning: you will avoid the crowds and take benefit of cooler temperatures to visit the temple. A must do in Laos!

A great bike ride along the bumpy road to this huge passing of the river through the rocks. To the left carry on down to a fantastic relaxed restaurant bar with huts to sit and listen to the falls before heading down to the beach and a swim in the river.

Tad Champee

Tad Champi is one of the lesser known waterfalls along the route from Pakse to Paksong, but is a lovely, tranquil place to go for a swim and enjoy the surrounding nature. To find Tad Champi, turn off the road 16E at 38km, opposite of the entrance to Tad Fane. From there it's another 1.8km on dirt roads until the paid parking. There are also some vendors selling refreshing drinks.

Reviewed By HauPhucLe - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

- The road from Highway 16E to the falls is relatively difficult, a red dirt road with many gravel and holes, nearly 2 km long. - Tickets 10,000 Kip / person and 5,000 Kip / motorbike. - There is a restaurant - cafe right on the right path to the waterfall. - The entrance to the waterfall is still being completed and upgraded. - The waterfall is very beautiful and wonderful, the water is cold like ice. The area around the waterfall is very clean and free of rubbish. There are tents and wooden steps to rest. There is a wooden raft very suitable for "virtual living".

Tad Yuang Waterfalls

Also spelled Tad Gneuang, this is a 40m high, truely picturesque waterfall surrounded by beautiful nature. Be careful when walking down to the pool of water, the steps are slippery. At the entrance to the falls (signposted well on road 16E at Km 40) you'll find food and drink stalls and a restaurant.

Even in the dry season this is well worth a visit as the falls are still worth seeing. Go and enjoy !

For me this has been so far my best experience in North Laos! The full view of the waterfall for now can only be viewed using the 'Fly Tadfane Zip Line! When we got here we couldn't see the loop. But the Zip Line is $40 per person but the experience is worth it and more! There are 4 zip line sections before you get back and there are some steps towards the last two zip lines, get ready it is steep and no walking sticks nor barriers to hold on to! Also there is a part where you have a wooden ladder get ready for those as well. Precautions - Take some gloves for the zip line. - Wear comfortable hiking shoes or trainers. - Wear comfortable clothese may be not too open. - Most of the staff here are not so fluent in English but they are very experienced and you will feel safe. - First timers pay $40 but if you want to do it again its half price. - If you fear heights and not fit, please don't do this. But I highly recommend this especially for the whole experience of seeing the waterfall!

Great t bike around or just sit and watch the river flow by. Plenty of good restaurants and hotels or lodging for all budgets. A nice boat ride as well from the mainland and a good place to chill for two nights or even a week.
