Golden Buddha

Reviewed By Itsmorning - Manchester, United Kingdom

There is not a lot to do or see in Pakse town but a must do is the golden Buddha. Great views of Pakse and the Mekong. I drove up but if you are feeling energetic you can flex your muscles and walk up the steps. You also get to cross the Mekong

Daoheuang Market

Reviewed By MSander - Tallinn, Estonia

There is not much to do in Pakse and the market gives you an hour or two to be explored. It's really huge , bustling and as local as it can get. You can buy anything from fruit and live ducks to fake gucci'es etc I love the food courts in Asian markets and this one was really exceptional with its wide choice. I chose it over my 4* hotel breakfast both mornings and couldn't have been happier.

Lao Nippon Bridge

Reviewed By Sriv9999 - Melbourne, Australia

We stayed at the Champasak Grand Hotel and had a great view of the Lao Nippon Bridge. Can walk along the side of the bridge to go to the Golden Buddha temple on the Mountain. Beautiful views from this temple as well.
