Cambodia Laos and Thailand, From Phnom Penh To Vientiane, 11 February 2001

Lie in for once! Then set off at 12 for airport – fly Vietnam Air to Vientiane – ok flight. Arrive Vientiane at 3 pm – go touring straight away with Wah Bain. First stop -Wat Sisaket…

Wat Sisaket

…then across the road to Hor Phra Kaeo.

Janie and Wah Bain stop for a quick jar at Hor Phra Kaeo

Then on to see That Luang after closing time!

That Luang after hours – see also headline photo. Amazing what a few Kip can achieve.

Attempt to see monument Anousaveri ( vertical runway) also, but they won’t play after hours – so go on to Tong Khan Kham – evening market – very attractive.

…and so colourful too.

Go out to dinner to eccentric Le Vendôme Restaurant in our hotel’s green London taxi.

Had gratinated crab, duck with cashews and braised Barbary duck and apple tart with a good bottle of wine under $30 before tip!

That’s us in the Settha Palace
