In the other you have the opportunity to Laos, in general to see that peace is at the very least Luangphrabang, temples and many very nice, honest man, and mild, unsettled That did not type, such as tight guillotine hotel in Vietnam, in Vientan is not nice and clean as in Luangphrabang, to Luangphrabang you can go see the temple with unique architecture, the royal palace, down the Mekong, evening, night shopping. In general I find to be very happy luangphrabang, hotel and food is cheap. They can use English. If you have time to Vientan when you just over a short bridge to Thailand. That year and its only going to be Luang Luang Vient but I like it better. Back then I went in July and see the calendar but not rain, the day is sunny but not hot like HN, late afternoon is cool and a bit cold at night.
