Vientiane
Vientiane is the charming capital of Laos and even though this is technically a capital city, it still feels like a small town rather than anything else.
Vientiane used to be a former French trading post during the colonial period, and as a result it has a delightful old French quarter than you can explore.
As you walk around you will also find a plethora of French inspired architecture such as a Laotian version of the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris known as Patuxai.
There are also other attractions that are well worth a visit such as sprawling local markets and temples like Wat Si Saket which is the oldest of its kind in Vientiane.
