About Vientiane
Vientiane is Laos's capital and Southeast Asia's sleepiest capital — French colonial villas, Buddhist temples, and a vibe that's more small town than city. The Mekong River runs through it, and the sunset beer Lao on the riverfront is a ritual. It's skipable unless you're going overland to Luang Prabang.
