HomeAsiaSouth East AsiaLaos19 Days Laos Itinerary — North to South Traverse By Marcos Detourist on August 15, 2012Laos was the second country I visited during my 10-week trip around Indochina (mainland South East Asia).Spending a month backpacking around Northern Thailand only left me one more month to travel through Laos (from north to south), cross the Cambodian border, possibly squeeze a side trip to Vietnam, then rush all the way to Bangkok, where I was supposed to catch my flight to Myanmar.Traveling around Laos from its northernmost border with Thailand to the southernmost border took 19 days.I loved the off beat vibe of Laos. It wasn’t a place the was filled with backpackers planning their trip around going to the next full moon party. I didn’t expect that Laos still retained its off beat charm especially because this country seemed to be a popular destination on the Banana Pancake trail.My favorite experience in Laos were the scenic slow boat rides along the mighty Mekong river, wandering around remote riverside villages surrounded by the tranquility of mountainous countrysides and awesome views of beautiful limestone formations.Itinerary RundownDestinationsDetailsPreviousNorthern Thailand: Ancient Temples and Nature TrekDay 1 to 9Huay XaiLuang PrabangNong KhiawMuang Ngoi NeuaThailand to Laos via Chiang Khong – Huay Xai Border CrossingHuay Xai to Luang Prabang BusIn and Around Luang PrabangLuang Prabang to Muang Ngoi Neua via Nong Khiaw by Bus/FerryIn and Around Muang Ngoi NeuaIn and Around Nong KhiawDay 10 to 15Vang ViengVientianeNong Khiaw to Vang Vieng BusIn and Around Vang ViengVang Vieng to VientianeIn and Around VientianeDay 16 to 19ChampasakPakseBolaven PlateauVientiane to Bolaven PlateauIn and Around Bolaven PlateauIn and Around PakseLaos to Cambodia via Veun Kham – Dom Kralor Border CrossingNextVietnam, Cambodia, Thailand: Indochina OverlandTopIndochina: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, MyanmarTrip Date — August 2012Route Map Don’t leave yet.
