   The service was seamless crossing the border not having to worry about the bags and the trip down the Mekong was relaxing and quite scenic. The food was prepared by the captain wife and was very yummy. Our guide La was very informative and great to get to know his country . See more..
   
2. 4.5 The Gibbon Experience (917 reviews)
   - Jungle getaway that exceeded expectations
   Nature & Wildlife Areas • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
   
   
   Friendly knowledgeable guides who spoke good English and the tree huts were clean and spacious. We always had way too much food for our group of 6 and the sticky rice was amazing. We always felt safe and the zip line system seemed pretty foolproof. The mosquito nets were very heavy and thick and made sleeping under a little stuffy so I simply poked my head out into the fresh air all night … didn’t even hear a mosquito all trip See more..
   
3. 4.5 Mekong Smile Cruise (216 reviews)
   - Boats N Laos!
   Boat Tours
   
   
   Very relaxing experience from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang, well worth the money! The views are amazing. We had a fantastic English speaking guide that took us to two separate villages (Whiskey & Weaving) and the Pak Ou caves. Food on board was to die for! We are now in love with Khaipen. The overnight stay at Pakbeng was nice, we had an explore of the night market and then had food & drinks with the tour group. This was a well needed chill coming straight out of The Gibbon Experience! Highly recommend! See more..
   
4. 4.5 Project Kajsiab Laos (30 reviews)
   - A good experience, not sure how helpful it is
   Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

Be aware that this place is not a fairytale, it is a tough place where people are learning to become self sustainable and overcome their past trauma. Children get personal care and education in the local way, which is not a travellers way. Open your mind and realize that you will see a screenshot of some people who have a whole lifetime of moments to learn and heal. What you see here is not only a result of our work, it is most of all the process during our work.Your being here helps the people to be proud of their work and helps the project to become fully self sustainable and independent of rules and funding abroad.

5. 4.0 Wat Chomkao Manilat (47 reviews)
   - Nice Hilltop Temple
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   Visitors need to walk a flight of stairs uphill to reach this lovely temple. The front facade of this temple overlooks the mighty Mekong River and also Thailand on the other side of the river border. A good place to visit in the tranquil town of Huay Xai. See more..
   
6. 3.0 Fort Carnot (4 reviews)
   - Only if you like abandoned places
   Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   This place gets 4 stars from me only because I wanted to photograph an abandoned fort which looks like it's haunted. If you want to eat and shop, or are scared of ghosts then this is not the place for you. See more..
   
7. 2.0 Donsao Market (3 reviews)
   - Don't expect much.
   Sunday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Flea & Street Markets
   
   
   Like others have said. This is only to say you "went to Laos". There is shopping but everything is knockoff. Just about everything here you can find in Thailand for cheaper. I did have to buy a bottle of "whiskey" that has a cobra snake and scorpion in the bottle. This is just as a display/conversation piece and not to drink. There are all kinds of poor kids with their hands out for money as you get off the boat so be prepared for that. We had no problem giving the kids a few dollars. You can use USD there as well.

8. 2.0 Kings Romans Casino (1 review)
   - La Chine au Laos
   Casinos
   Le casino Kings Romans se trouve de l'autre côté du Mékong, du côté du Laos, La construction des Kings Romans a commencé il y a quatre ans avec un prix d'environ 500 millions de dollars américains, y compris l'installation d'une route de 46 km entre le casino et la ville laotienne de Huay Xa. Selon le directeur, les défis étaient nombreux, car les ouvriers et les matériaux du bâtiment devaient être transportés de Chine vers la région relativement peu développée. Le casino est l'un des nombreux projets situés dans une zone du nord du Laos appelée zone économique spéciale, à laquelle le gouvernement a accordé des droits de développement aux entreprises chinoises avec un bail de 99 ans. Le groupe Kings Romans contrôle 10 000 hectares de cette région. À la fin de cette période, toutes les propriétés chinoises de la région seront remises aux autorités laotiennes. See more..
