Vientiane

Vientiane, also spelled Viangchan, largest city and capital of Laos, situated on a plain just northeast of the Mekong River. The city’s central river port location in a country relying heavily on its rivers for transportation and its surrounding hinterland of intensive rice cultivation have made Vientiane the major economic centre of Laos. The city has a tropical monsoon climate, every month having an average daytime temperature above 80 °F (27 °C) and more than 80 percent of Vientiane’s annual precipitation on the average falling in the five months May–September.

Vientiane

The town was founded during the late 13th century, and in the mid-16th century the capital of the Lao kingdom (a state known as Lan Xang) was moved to Vientiane from its previous traditional location at Luang Prabang (now Louangphrabang). In 1778 Vientiane came under Siamese control; in 1828 it was sacked and destroyed when the subject Laotian king revolted against Siamese hegemony. From 1899 to 1953, with the exception of the Japanese occupation (1945), Vientiane was in succession the seat of the French governor and the French administrative capital.

Vientiane still has some of its older wooden structures, despite its government offices, foreign embassies, and schools. Its modern industries include brewing, lumber processing, and the manufacture of brick, tile, textiles, cigarettes, matches, detergents, plastic bags, rubber sandals, and iron and steel. The Lao farmers of the surrounding area tend rice, corn (maize), and livestock in some of the best alluvial lowlands of Laos.

Vientiane

Before 1975 the city was the principal stock shipping and slaughtering centre of the country. Since the shift in the country’s import trade from Vietnam to Thailand, Vientiane has replaced Pakxé to the southeast as Laos’s principal port of entry.

The National University of Laos (founded 1995) in Vientiane has faculties of agriculture, architecture, education, and forestry, among others. Ho Phakeo, the national museum, is located in the city, as are the Dongsaphangmeuk Library and the National Library.

At Vientiane the Mekong River is navigable only by small craft; passage to the right bank and the Thai railhead of Nong Khai was solely by ferry until 1994, when a highway bridge was opened. Vientiane has an international airport, and highways link the city with Louangphrabang and Savannakhet in Laos and with Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The Nam Ngum Dam north of Vientiane provides enough hydroelectric power for the surrounding areas and for export to Thailand as well. Vientiane’s outstanding building is the That Luang, a stupa (temple), dating from about 1566 and restored by Lao civil servants under Prince Phetsarath during the French colonial period. Pop. (2003 est.) city, 194,200; (2005 est.) urban agglom., 702,000.

Rolling with the (weather) punches Planning: John was such a delight to work with. He really listened to what I was wanting out of my family’s short visit and was open to feedback and easily made changes to the itinerary to make it perfect for us. I was worried about the weather and John reassured me that everything would be ok and was always in communication with updates, which was comforting. The trip itself: Leo was our guide and was so friendly and knowledgeable! During our drive from the airport in Han Oi to Ninh Binh, he shared stories about the area, history, cultural tidbits and even stories about his life and how he grew up. Unfortunately, the weather was quite nasty so our plans had to shift a bit, but Leo and John were very communicative and made adjustments so that we were able to do some of what we had planned. Leo was a trooper! The resort we stayed at was beautiful and comfortable, and would be idyllic under better conditions. Oh! Leo’s enthusiasm about the local cuisine was contagious enough to even have my picky children trying the lunch that was prepared at the restaurant we stopped at on our day tour. I appreciated that because it’s sometimes difficult to get them to open up to new experiences. I would definitely recommend going through Sapa to organize a trip to Vietnam. They made everything so easy and it was great to have someone looking out for us when we had no clue what to do.

Chuyến đi Sapa tuyệt vời. Sapa Sunshine Travel rất chuyên nghiệp Sapa luôn là điểm du lịch của gia đình chúng tôi hàng năm. Năm nay chúng tôi chọ đặt tour qua Sapa Sunshine Travel. Bên tour thât chuyên nghiệp, họ sẵn sàng bỏ cả buổi tối để tư vấn cho chúng tôi nên đi nơi nào, nên đi giờ nào và đi đâu. Họ đã đặt vé tầu đêm cho gia đình chúng tôi đi từ Ga Hàng Cỏ lên Sapa, chúng tôi được trải nghiệm một đêm trên tàu, lũ trẻ cực kỳ thích thú khi được đi tầu. Đến Sapa rất sớm bên Sapa Sunshine travel đã hỗ trợ chúng tôi được gửi đồ ở khách sạn, đi foot tour quanh khách sạn buổi sáng, sau ăn trưa bản Cát Cát là điểm du lịch tiếp theo vào buổi chiều. Về nhận phòng khách sạn, chúng tôi có một bữa tối tại Sapa với lẩu cá tầm, cá hồi nướng và món gà bản tuyệt ngon. Tối chúng tôi có chương trình tour tự do. Sáng hôm sau chúng tôi tiếp tục đi thăm đỉnh Fansipan tuyệt đẹp. Cảm ơn Spa Sunshine Travel và Mr John Ng đã giúp đỡ tôi trong chuyến đi này.

Poděkování Moc rádi bychom poděkovali sympatické Lucce, která nám pomohla nejen s vytvořením itineráře naší cesty, ale hlavně trpělivě odpovídala na všechny naše dotazy, před cestou i během pobytu ve Vietnamu. Poskytla rady, kde se v Hanoji nejlépe najíst, kde ubytovat, jak na dopravu, na co si dávat pozor, čili díky ní proběhla naše návštěva bez zmatků a starostí :).Výlety, které pro nás tato CK zprostředkovala, byly úžasné. Průvodci sympatičtí, jídlo a ubytování skvělé.V Mai Chau jsme si nejvíce užili výlet na kolech. Balzám na duši,projíždět se nádhernou přírodou a vnímat jen ticho a klid kolem sebe.Dalším výletem byl pobyt na lodi a proplouvání úchvatnou zátokou Ha Long. Jsme rádi, že jsme vyzkoušeli trochu jiný styl dovolené, i když na pouhé 2 dny. Nejvíce nás bavil kurz vaření a ranní lekce Tai-či.Určitě jsme do Vietnamu nezavítali naposledy a při příští návštěvě se opět obrátíme na tuto CK. S klidným svědomím ji tedy doporučujeme, jelikož veškeré služby byly takové, jaké jsme si je představovali:). Ještě jednou moc děkujeme!

Rodinná dovoléná Vietnam 2018-2019 Původně jsme chtěli měsíc cestovat po Vietnamu bez jasného, předem připraveného plánu. Zpětně musíme uznat, že jsme udělali velmi dobře, že jsme se obrátili na cestovní kancelář Sapa Sunshine Travel, která nám připravila velmi pestrý plán cesty, který byl do posledního detailu skvěle připraven. Každý den jsme měli zajištěné perfektní ubytování, každý den jsme měli individuální program jen pro naši rodinu s anglicky hovořícími průvodci, mezi jednotlivými destinacemi byla zajištěna doprava. Všechno klaplo naprosto dokonale. Vůbec o nic jsme se nemuseli starat a mohli jsme si naplno užívat měsíční dovolenou. Tuto cestovní kancelář vřele doporučujeme všem cestovatelům. Pro každého jsou ochotni a schopni zajistit a naplánovat zcela individuální program. Honza a Eva Kocourkovi

Sapa trek We spent 3 days exploring beauty of Sapa in November. Sapa is a lovely and fascinating place to visit. We had an amazing time on our Sapa trek with a great local guide. Fansipan Mountain, Love Waterfall, homestay, trekking, terraced rice fields, the breathtaking view are totally worth seeing.We booked our trip with Sapa Sunshine Travel. Thanks Sapa Sunshine Travel team for a great trip! If you are planning to go Sapa, I highly recommend them.

Excellent & reliable! The agency was amazing. John (the manager) was really patient answering all our many Qs about Sapa, and Thuy was our wonderful local Sapa guide. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. They are safe, reliable, patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was travelling with two other ladies, and we felt well looked after & safe every step of the way. If you're looking for an excellent & knowledgeable tour guide in Vietnam - look no further. This is it!

A fun-packed trip The trip started with pick ip from our hotel - on time, comfortable van. The overnight train ride was OK (expected to be bumpy and noisy - probably an issue if you’re a light sleeper), we had a 2-berth cabin, toilet was rather small. Reached Lao Cai and driver was ready to drive us to Sapa. A little bit confusion over which hotel we’ll be staying at but it was all sorted out. Happy that the hotel provided breakfast even we have not checked in (we arrived early morning), luggage storage was available and there were clean shower rooms with towels provided. Left the luggage at the hotel, showered and we were off to the Day 1 trekking. Nice, friendly English-speaking guide - named Mims. Easy/ low elevation trekking, beautiful padi-terraces scenery. The rice we just about to be harvested, it was perfect timing. Day 2 trekking was a little bit harder with steps to get to the two waterfalls. At the end of day 2 we were back at the hotel, showered, picked up the luggage and were sent to the train station to get back to Hanoi.Overall a superb experience! Than you Mr John and all the guide/drivers
