Pakxe: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Paksé, in the south of Laos, is the capital of the Champassak region and a good departure point for trips to the Bolaven Plateau in the east, or south towards the "4,000 Islands" region.
My suggestion
Admire the sun set from the banks of the Mekong. The sky seems to set itself alight and the colours are magnificent.
Pakse is a busy, little town in the south of Laos. It's a departure point for touring the Bolovens Plateau.
My suggestion
Indeed, a lot of tourists just pass through Pakse in order to reach the Bolovens. And yet the the town is well worth staying in for a day or two!
Surrounded by the Mekong and the Sedon, Pakse is one of Laos' economic lungs. Being situated near to the Bolovens and Champasak, it's a useful stop-off.
My suggestion
I suggest you hire a moped in Pakse so you can explore the Bolovens at your own pace.
Pakse is the main city of southern Laos and is an interesting stopover for a visit to the province of Champasak.
My suggestion
Rent a scooter in Pakse (attractive prices and good advice at Miss Noy's) and spend 2 or 3 days discovering the Bolaven plateau.
