Vientiane hotels and tours

Sabai-dee and Welcome to Vientiane

Chosen as the capital after Laos was established as a French protectorate in the late 19th century, Vientiane, pronounced "Wieng Chan" ("Sandalwood City"), is still the capital of Laos today. Situated on a bend in the Mekong River, Vientiane is the country's hub for travel to the rest of the country and an important junction for trade.

While it is the busiest, most bustling city in Laos, with just 450,000 residents it is the most laidback city in Asia - almost like an overgrown village!
