I arrived at Vientiane Airport in Laos late at night on Air Busan. Flights: Air Busan Incheon 7:00 PM ~ Vientiane 10:50 PM As soon as you claim your luggage, there's a taxi stand to your left to take you to Vientiane. For $7, a driver will be assigned to take you conveniently to your accommodation. Mekong Hotel (Booking.com) : Breakfast included, free airport shuttle, currency exchange available We stayed one night at a budget-friendly hotel in downtown Vientiane, and the next morning, we took the hotel's free shuttle service to Vientiane Airport and traveled to Pakse. It took about an hour. Since the 600km land journey takes over 12 hours, most people choose to fly. Although the flight is short, light snacks and drinks are provided on board. Flights: Lao Airlines (Booked through Travellao) Departs Vientiane at 11:55 AM ~ Arrives Pakse at 12:55 PM It was 10% cheaper than booking tickets at the local airport. Recently, a limited-time, peak-season direct flight between Incheon and Pakse has been launched, so during this period, you can travel directly to Pakse without stopping in Vientiane.

The Sky Lounge on the 7th floor of the Pakse Hotel is a great spot for night views. The food is also delicious. The massage shop right in front of the hotel is highly recommended!! It's affordable, and the Full Foot Massage was the most satisfying. 140,000 kip (approximately 9,200 won) Pakse Day 2 The next morning, with the help of a Korean who has lived in Laos for 20 years, we visited Wat Phu, a famous Pakse landmark.
