Indochina Vietnam + Laos

Vietnam and Laos enjoys a strong political relationship for a long time. Due to their shape of the lands, they share a long border along the east Laos and west Vietnam. Tourists can take bus to Laos from Vietnam, which will take about 24-27 hours bus ride. It will be a tiring and rough journey. The best way to travel between the two countries is to take flight from Hanoi to Vientiane, a distance of 301 miles. There are 5 daily flights from Hanoi to Vientiane and 7 weekly flights, which will take about 1 hour and 7 minutes. Although it will be much more expensive than the bus ride, it is much faster and more comfortable. There is no need to waste that much time on the transfer. One more important thing is remember to change money from Lao-Viet Bank in Vietnam. The exchange rate for Vietnam Dong in exchange booths in Laos is very bad. Or bring USD or EUR with you.

In Vietnam, take some walk along the wooded boulevards among lakes in Hanoi, experience hilltribe culture, and discover stunning scenery and friendly people in mysterious Sapa, soak up the old-world charm of Hoi An, step back into the world of the country's last emperors in Hue, be awed by the endless energy of Ho Chi Minh City and cruise through dramatic karst scenery on a boat tour of Halong Bay. In Laos, just take it easy and take it slow, and enjoy. After a one-day city tour in Vientiane, move to Luang Prabang. A tour to Kuang Si Waterfall to soak up the beauty of the Kuang Si Waterfalls and swim in the crystal-clear waters.
