"Pha Nam Sai" is a viewpoint in Vang Vieng, Laos that you must visit!! Once you cross over to the Laos side, there is an entrance fee of 20,000 kip (about 30 baht). If you are wearing sandals, I do not recommend it because the path is steep and there are a lot of rocks. However, there is a place to rent shoes at the entrance for 20,000 kip. #100WaysToTravel #PhaNamSai #VangViengCityOfMountains #VisitLaos #Viewpoint #VisitLaosOnYour Own

#hikingtime It wasn't a complete journey if you haven't visit Vang Vieng yet, so please put this destination on your travel itinerary. Located at the north of Vientiane, Vang Vieng is a small town which one of the must visit destination in Laos. If you happened to visit Vang Vieng, you should probably go to its iconic spot which called Nam Xay Viewpoint. The trip to Vang Vieng from Vientiane city will take about two hours drive, so it will not wasting your travel time. As the Nam Xay Viewpoint is the iconic destination of Laos and also you need to do hiking to get to the very top, I highly suggest you to go during afternoon time starting from 3PM so you will not get hot burning your body. Also you will get the best view ever during sunset time! During this time, you will also witnessing the air balloon up in the air to complete your excitement in this place. There are two options to go to Vang Vieng: 1. You may take fast train from Vientiane to Vang Vieng. But it is quite effort on how to get train ticket as the ticket will always almost sold out if you book it on the D-Day. If I may check, there is an online reservation on the application to secure your train ticket. Or you may ask local people or the hotel receptionist to assist you for the booking. 2. Another option is by a mini van. You may also ask local people or the hotel receptionist to assist you for booking the mini van ticket. Thais is the easiest way to secure your seat. You will only need to pay the entrance ticket for 10.000 Kip (less than $1) which is quite cheap! As you will do hiking, I suggest you to wear strong shoes or a certain shoes that especially used for hiking. 📍Nam Xay Viewpoint, Vang Vieng, Laos 🇱🇦 #laos #vangvieng #nature

The ideal site for one of Laos' most spectacular vistas is Nam Xay Viewpoint in Vang Vieng. Unbeatable views of craggy limestone cliffs, lush forests, and rice fields may be had from the top. You'll reach the top after a 30-minute intermediate trek, where you'll almost certainly find peace and quiet, as well as an incredible photo opportunity with a motorbike inexplicably left there by locals. But, before you begin taking pictures, take a deep breath and unwind in the hammock. The best time to visit Nam Xay Viewpoint is an hour or two before sunset, regardless of the season. The heat has subsided, and you'll be able to watch a stunning sunset from the top. However, don't linger too late after the sun sets; the hike down is much frightening and perilous in the dark. The locals who keep track of all the visitors will wait for you if you're the last person to make the trip down. #summervacationtravel#popularswing#hiking#historicculture#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#springitinerary Hey thrill-seekers and sunset chasers! 🚣♂️ Just got back from Vang Vieng – the once-notorious party town that’s traded tubing ragers for jaw-dropping nature (but kept just enough mischief). Think turquoise lagoons, limestone karsts that belong on a screensaver, and the kind of adventures that’ll make your Instagram followers actually jealous. Here’s how to do Vang Vieng right in 2024! 💦 The Blue Lagoon That Stole My Heart (And My Dignity) At Blue Lagoon 3, I: ✅ Swung off a 10m rope swing like Tarzan ✅ Floated in water so blue it looked photoshopped ✅ Face-planted trying to backflip (thanks to the cheering crowd of backpackers) Pro tip: Go early – by noon, it’s packed with daredevils and GoPro-wielding influencers. 🚴 The Scooter Adventure That Almost Broke Me Rented a $6 scooter to chase karst views. Highlights: • Phangern Cave’s pitch-dark tunnels (headlamp required!) • Nam Xay Viewpoint’s 360° panorama (after *40 minutes of stair-climbing agony*) • Getting chased by a rooster at a roadside noodle stall (true story) 🍕 The Unexpected Foodie Twist Vang Vieng’s secret MVP? Tandoori Night at Vang Vieng Organic Farm. A Lao-Indian fusion feast by candlelight, with naan so good I cried. (Yes, really.) ⏳ My Perfect 3-Day Vang Vieng Itinerary Day 1 – Waterfalls & Water Sports 8:00 AM: Kayaking on Nam Song River (avoid the midday sun!) 12:00 PM: Lunch at Amigo’s (best fish tacos in Laos?!) 3:00 PM: Blue Lagoon 1 (less crowded, epic rope swings) 7:00 PM: Riverside BBQ with fire dancers at Sakura Bar Day 2 – Caves & Clifftops 6:30 AM: Sunrise at Nam Xay Viewpoint (bring water!) 10:00 AM: Tham Chang Cave (crystal pools + Buddha statues) 2:00 PM: Tubing (the chill version – just floating with a Beerlao) 8:00 PM: Movie night at Gary’s Irish Bar (yes, they still have Friends marathons) Day 3 – Countryside Feels 8:00 AM: Hot air balloon ride (worth every penny at $90) 12:00 PM: Organic Farm cooking class (sticky rice workshop = life skills) 4:00 PM: Last-minute swim at Blue Lagoon 2 7:00 PM: Night bus to Luang Prabang (already missing the karsts) 💡 Vang Vieng 2024 Survival Tips Rent a bike – but avoid the dirt roads after rain (trust me) Pack dry bags – tubing = guaranteed splashes Haggle gently – prices are fair now (no more “party tax”) Try the laap at Naked Espresso (weird location, amazing food) Vang Vieng’s glow-up is real – it’s now equal parts adventure and zen. Who’s ready to cliff-jump by day and stargaze by night? 🌌 #VangViengVibes #NoRagrets #KarstAddict P.S. That perfect moment? Eating mango sticky rice in a tractor inner tube while the sunset turned the karsts pink. This is the new Vang Vieng. 🌅

From the entrance to the top of the mountain, the distance is about 350 meters. It took me almost 40 minutes because the way up is quite slippery. Along the way, there are bamboo railings and ropes to help us walk up without falling. And then we reached the beautiful top of Pha Nam Sai. When you get there, you can't miss this photo spot.

I was able to arrive without getting lost in about 30 minutes by slowly driving on a motorbike 🛵 It costs 20,000 kyat (¥136/as of December 2024) to enter the mountain. The price has increased since I saw it in August! It takes 30 minutes to climb from the entrance. But it's a pretty steep road...! Especially near the peak, the rock surface is exposed, so sneakers are recommended 👟 It was worth the effort to climb, and I was able to enjoy a very beautiful view 🫶🏽 I climbed after 10am.

For the Vang Vieng trip, Laos, you must not miss Pha Nam Sai, a very popular check-in point. The entrance fee is 20k kip, and there are shoes for rent at the same price. We went up in the evening, around 4-5 p.m., but the road conditions were very muddy because it had rained during the day. I have to say that if you don't have the courage, don't go up because it's a very tough 400 meters, lol. If you look at the picture, the condition of our pants and shoes when we went up, but when we went up, the view was really beautiful. The weather wasn't hot either. But the peak was when we went down, it rained very hard, like a flash flood, flowing very hard and slippery. We climbed like monkeys. Pha Nam Sai is suitable for adventurers. Glamour lovers, take a break, lol. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Vang Vieng, the city of mountains #Vang Vieng #Pha Nam Sai #Pha Nam Sai viewpoint

The first time I came here, I can say in one word that it is very beautiful. It is worth waking up early. I rented a motorcycle and parked it back at the hotel so that I can use it in the early morning. I recommend going early in the morning. The weather is not hot and you will get beautiful fog. The way up is quite difficult, but it is not far. It took me 30 minutes to walk up without stopping. I left the hotel at 5:30 AM and arrived at almost 6 AM. I recommend wearing sneakers or hiking shoes and bringing a flashlight. Food, snacks and drinking water are also essential. For anyone who is going, I highly recommend it. It is very beautiful. Let's go together. Coordinates: Pha Nam Sai, Vang Vieng, Laos #Get a discount without relying on luck
