#Laos attractions That Ing Hang is a pagoda in Savannakhet Province, Laos. It was built by King Suminthalat in 600 B.E. during the Khotabun Kingdom. Another source states that it was built around 400 B.E. It is rumored that That Ing Hang is a twin pagoda of That Phanom. That Ing Hang or That Ing Hang comes from the word "Ping Rang" or leaning against the Rang tree. The base is square and 25 meters high. At the Rang tree where the Lord Buddha stopped to receive alms in Sri Khotabun, later the relics of the Lord Buddha, the spine, were invited to be enshrined in the chedi. Built during the reign of Phra Nakhon or Angkor Wat, That Ing Hang was transformed into a Hindu temple. There were constructions and additions in many parts to create Hindu art, including some bas-relief sculptures. That Ing Hang was renovated in 1892 B.E. by King Fa Ngum. Then, during the reign of King Saisetthathirat, He moved the capital of Lan Xang from Luang Prabang to establish Vientiane. He ordered the restoration and modification of Phra That Ing Hang to return it to being a sacred place for Buddhists as before, including building a new spire of the pagoda in Lao style. After that, there were renovations and restorations in many eras and the current appearance was maintained. #VisitLaos #Savannakhet

#springitinerary Hey road-trippers! 🛵 Just got back from a lazy weekend in Savannakhet, Laos’ sleepy riverside gem where time moves at the speed of a bicycle bell. Think crumbling French villas, dinosaur fossils, and a sandwich so legendary I still dream about it. Here’s how to do slow travel right in Laos’ most underrated town. 🦕 The Dino Moment That Made Me Feel 10 Again At the Dinosaur Museum, I geeked out over T-Rex femur bones found right here in Laos. The exhibit? Quirky and low-tech (think: hand-painted signs). The vibe? Pure "Jurassic Park meets your grandma’s attic." 🦖 🌅 The Sunset Spot That Stole My Heart Mekong Riverside at golden hour = magic. Grab a 10,000 kip Beerlao, plop on a plastic stool, and watch fishing boats drift by. Bonus: The "love locks" bridge where couples pledge eternity (or at least until the next bus leaves). 🥖 The Banh Mi That Ruined All Other Banh Mis Khao Jai Panya—a hole-in-the-wall with a 50-year-old recipe. Crispy baguette, pâté, pickled veggies, and that chili sauce. I ate two. Back-to-back. Zero shame. The uncle making them laughed and said, "You come back tomorrow?" (I did.) ⏳ My Leisurely Lao Itinerary Day 1 – Friday Evening 4:00 PM: Crossed the Thai border (chill vibe vs. Vientiane’s chaos). 5:30 PM: Checked into Santisouk Guesthouse (balcony + river views = win). 7:00 PM: Lao-style papaya salad at the night market (extra fermented crab, dare me). Day 2 – Saturday 8:00 AM: Thatbanha Temple (gold Buddhas + morning chants). 10:00 AM: French Quarter stroll (peeling shutters, hidden cafés). 1:00 PM: Grilled Mekong fish at Lin’s Café (eat with your hands!). 4:00 PM: Bike ride to Heuan Hin (creepy ancient stone house). Day 3 – Sunday 7:00 AM: Morning market pho (locals-only spot by the bus station). 10:00 AM: Wat Xayaphoum (tree roots swallowing temple walls). 12:00 PM: Last banh mi (duh) + slow bus to Pakse. 💡 Savvy Tips for Savannakhet Rent a bicycle ($1/day)—flat streets, zero traffic. Border hop: Thailand’s Mukdahan is just across the river. Learn Lao numbers: Market aunties will love you for it. Slow down: This town’s charm is in its cracks and crevices. Savannakhet doesn’t shout—it whispers. And honestly? That’s why it’s perfect. Who’s in for a lazy Lao weekend? #SlowTravelGoals #BanhMiAddict #MekongVibes

❤Recommendation reason: Savannakhet, Savannakhet Province - is a niche tourist destination and the third largest city in Laos. If you hadn't read the expert guide, you wouldn't know there is such a charming small city in southern Laos. It is famous for its leisurely pace of life, ancient temples and beautiful Mekong River scenery. (The other side of the Mekong River is Thailand 🇹🇭, even the Mekong River is half of one country [Grin]) 🌟Highlights: 🌈Big Pagoda——This is one of the most famous attractions in Savannakhet. Its magnificent appearance and long history attract many tourists to check in! 📷 🌈Inhan Pagoda——It is an ancient temple with a unique architectural style, which is worth seeing. (⚠️Remember to tie your hair before entering the temple, and pay attention to your attire. Do not wear sleeveless clothes, shorts or short skirts. Respect the local culture!) 🌅Sunset on the Mekong River - This depends on the weather. Pick a good day, come to the Mekong River in the evening, wait for the sunset, and watch the river surface dyed golden. It is definitely the most romantic moment in Savannakhet. 🏘️French architecture——Influenced by French colonialism, most of the houses here are colorful French buildings. Each house has a small courtyard, and it is super healing to take a walk in the streets and alleys. ✈️Transportation tips: 1⃣️From Vientiane, the capital of Laos, you can take a flight to Savannakhet. The flight frequency is high and the price is reasonable. 2⃣️Take a long-distance bus, but it takes a long time. (Not recommended) ⏳Best time to travel: November to February of the following year is the best time to travel. There is less rainfall and the weather is clear, which is very suitable for travel! 📝Note tips: Savannakhet is close to the Thai border, so it is recommended to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent and respect local culture and customs!

“If we don’t make more merit and only eat the old merit, it will eventually run out. It’s like water in a jar. If we don’t add more, it will eventually run out.” 🙏 Wat Phu Lum Khum - Located at Ban Nong Nok Khian, Rom Klao Subdistrict, Nikhom Kham Soi District, Mukdahan Province. 🙏 How to get there - From Kalasin, there is the Kalasin-Mukdahan Expressway. - From Yasothon or Amnat Charoen, drive straight to Nikhom Kham Soi. Before reaching Nikhom Kham Soi on the left, there will be a sign for the entrance for about 10 kilometers. - From Mukdahan, drive until you reach the Nikhom Kham Soi traffic light intersection. Drive straight ahead, there will be a sign telling you to make a U-turn on the right, then turn left and drive straight for about 10 kilometers. 🙏 The temple is open and closed from 06:30 - 17:00. - The way up to the temple is a hillside from the temple gate. The way up is very narrow, be careful of oncoming cars. There are also sharp curves. - I like this temple very much because it is on a mountain, but the temple has built a large reservoir for its own use. - There are buildings on the temple. Whether it is a large bell-shaped pagoda, the top has a beautiful view, you can see wind turbines too. #Wat Phu Lum Khum #Ban Nong Nok Khian #Nikhom Kham Soi #Mukdahan Province #Go to the temple to make merit #Please follow #Dhamma Sanchar Bhikkhu

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Another must-see landmark in Savannakhet that everyone must stop by to take a photo and check in at the colonial-style cafe with an old town feel. The photo corner in front of the shop is already amazing. Inside the shop, the table corner by the glass is a must-see. The photos come out beautifully. The drinks are inexpensive. Near the shop, there is street art for taking photos. Don't miss it. Savannakhet Cafe

🍕A secret shop that sells homemade pizza in the old town of Savannakhet. If you are someone who loves to taste food in a new city and have visited Savannakhet and do not know where to find good Italian food, I recommend this place. It is a homemade pizza that is freshly made and baked in a charcoal oven. It does not take long to eat. What is no different from the pizza is the steak here. The meat is grilled to the perfect level. You can choose the desired level. The meat is juicy. It comes with fresh vegetable salad with a unique salad dressing that you have never eaten anywhere before. And we can order Lao chrysanthemum tea to eat anytime at a cheap price. It goes together very well. 💞Reason for recommendation: A short trip to Laos for three days and two nights with a budget of a thousand baht will get you a good trip and delicious food all day and night. Complete every meal, worth every baht. 🍕The atmosphere in the shop is homey. There are only four tables and a bar that can seat about three people. If you go on the weekend, you may have to book the shop in advance. 💰Average price per person: 300-400฿ 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Street parking 📍Address: Savannakhet, Laos #VisitLaos #Savannakhet #Laos
