The renowned city of Vientiane is within reach of Ban Khiet Ngong. You'll find this busy centre 140 kilometres to the southwest.
If you've got loads of time, why not head to a few nearby destinations? Xiangkhouang and Phonsavan are 30 kilometres and 45 kilometres away, respectively.
Want to go and see VLT Natural Tours, the Wat Si Souman and Tham Jang? Then head over to Vang Vieng, 95 kilometres to the west. Tham Sang and Tham Loup & Tham Hoi are also close at hand and should be on your travel plan.
Cater to the explorer within and check out the area's landscapes with a day of mountain biking. Alternatively, perhaps you'd prefer to go rock climbing?
Looking to find something for the whole family? Cycling and bird watching are enjoyable ways to spend a few hours.
Don't have as much time as you'd like? Taking a few guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours and cycling tours will ensure you get much more out of your trip.
Eager for some fun on the water? Then lather on the sunscreen and dive into some rafting or tubing.
Check out the region's history museums and craft workshops. They are particularly good places to visit when the rain starts coming down.
For something outside that will entertain everyone, pass by the local area's open-air markets.
This area has a fascinating history. Spend a little time exploring a few of the surrounding ruins, traditional villages and historic palaces. Don't worry if you're struggling to find information online — the locals will have a few stories to share!
If you're curious about the local set of beliefs, visit some temples, shrines and monasteries. Even if it doesn't spark a spiritual awakening, there's a good chance you'll find some calm.
Eating is one of life's biggest pleasures, and since you're reading this, you probably think travel is too. Combine your enthusiasm for both by venturing out and tasting the food and drink offerings at various restaurants, cafés and bars across town.
Are you partial to cellophane noodles (made from mung bean starch)? How about asian basil? Whether you're crazy about them or not, they are two essential ingredients commonly found in dishes here.
Ask a local what dish best represents the region and khao jee (baguettes) will probably be the first thing that rolls off their tongue. Laab moo (minced pork salad) is another of the region's signature foods you might like to bite into.
You won't need too much persuading to sample fresh fruit, a dessert that'll make you want to settle down here.
Held each year on the 2nd of December, Republic Day holds an important place in the hearts and minds of the locals. It offers a fantastic chance to discover the country's history and let your hair down while you're at it!
It's not easy to part with a region as charming as Laos, but rest assured that it will always welcome you back.
Time to fly home? Pack your bag, set the alarm and map out a route to Noi Bai International Airport (HAN). It's around 350 kilometres to the northeast.
