Nam Xay Viewpoint
Observation deck
👍👍 Very difficult to trek because of the broken way to reach. It took me like more than an hour to reach as I am not an expert in trekking. The main reason was to fly a drone from here. The views from here are breathtaking and tremendous. If you come to this trek do take plenty of water with you. Gener...

Pha Ngern View Point
Hiking area
👍👍 A challenging trail with a fantastic panoramic view at the peak. The trail is well marked all the way to the top. We are a family of 5, ages between 42 to 7, and it took us 1:15 hours to climb 700 meters to the top. The climb is quite steep but not too slippery. Highly recommended!

Happy Mango Thai Restaurants
Thai restaurant
👍 In the culinary desert that is Vang Vien, Happy Mango is a welcome refuge. Large menu of Thai recipes, fantastic shakes/juices, and a hip environment justify the slightly higher prices. Some Westen options at end of menu. Taste is great but not unforgettable. Service can be a bit slow during peak ti...
