🇱🇦Laos Ep.1 | Pakse - Vientiane 5 days 4 nights

Hello everyone, today we will share a #travel to Laos trip by ourselves for 5 days and 4 nights, along with travel methods from airplanes to sleeping in a bus for 10 hours (the first time in my life) to be a guide for those who want to go by themselves like us. Let's start. 🛵💨 ——— Day 1: Thailand - Laos 📌 Starting from Don Mueang Airport (DMK) > Ubon Airport (UBP) at a price of around 1,000 *If you book in advance, it will be even cheaper* You can bring luggage on the plane no more than 7 kg. 📌 Continue with Shutter Buss > Ubon Bus Terminal by walking out of the front of the airport and turning right. The fare is 20 baht. When we arrive at the bus terminal, we book a van to get off at Chong Mek border for 100 baht. *Note* The travel time is quite long + the car is not very clean. It is recommended to prepare headphones and wear a mask. And if anyone is hungry, you can eat here while waiting for the car to leave. 📌 Continue with a motorcycle taxi to the front of Chong Mek border. There will be both motorcycle taxis and locals. The price is 30 baht. When you arrive at the border, you can withdraw cash via ATM (Kasikorn), which will be the last ATM in Thailand. And bring cash to exchange with the locals in that area, along with buying a SIM card *Note* You must compare the currency exchange rate in each period well. Exchange moderately (when we went, the rate was 1 baht = 638 kip) 📑 The process of clearing the country is very easy. The first checkpoint is to check the passport, scan the face, and walk from the Chong Mek checkpoint > Wang Tao checkpoint to stamp the passport with the Lao official. There is a fee of 100 baht, and that's it. We can take a van from the checkpoint > Pakse to various areas. We chose to go straight to the hotel by paying 200 baht (Thai baht) 🏨 Pakse Hotel, Family Room, 3 beds, the disadvantage is that there is no window. The advantage of this place is that it is clean, safe, and breakfast is provided for every room. And there is a motorcycle rental service 📍Book a Sleeper Bus ticket with Chitprasong Company (Chitprasong Bus) at 320,000 kip or about 500 baht/person (cheaper than online). Travel time is from 8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. or about 10-11 hours. *Note* Hurry to buy before the travel date because there are many people. Afraid of running out 📍Have dinner at Pho Lankham, the atmosphere along the Mekong River. The owner is very kind and lovely. The difference is the peanut sauce, which is a bit strange. After that, go to the accommodation. ——— Day 2: Zipline Tad Fane Waterfall 📍We woke up early, checked out of the hotel, left our bags at the reception, and traveled by motorcycle for about 40-50 minutes to our destination. There is an entrance fee to the waterfall and parking fee. 🏞️ Playing Zipline means the weight must not exceed 100 kg. We played normally for 1,690 baht, including video/photo shooting. The feeling while playing was very exciting because it was quite high. If you want it to be good, you should come to play during the rainy season. There will be more fog and greenness than this period. 📍After playing for about 30 minutes, we went to eat at Tad gneuang and walked around to enjoy nature. I must say that it was very beautiful. You can take pictures from many angles if you are not tired first. After returning from the waterfall, we walked around the city and took souvenir photos. After that, we went back to the hotel, dried ourselves off, washed our faces, brushed our teeth, did some business, and changed our clothes to prepare for bed because we had to sleep on the bus all night for more than 10 hours. *It is recommended to prepare medicine or headphones if you have trouble sleeping* See you in Ep.2 in Vientiane! 🙏🏼🤍🚎If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
