삼싸오 산맥 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Wonderful view from the platform, which, however, doesn't seem very stable 😄

Here you can cross the Nam Song River during the dry season.

The wooden bridge is back - from the parking lot you walk over this wooden bridge to Tham Chang Cave and back.

Tham Chang Cave is the only major tourist attraction within easy walking distance of Vang Vieng town. Tham Chang Cave is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. and from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Entrance to the area around Tham Chang Cave costs 5,000 Lao Kip, and entry to the cave itself costs an additional 15,000 Lao Kip. Tham Chang Cave features several stalactites and stalagmites, as well as interesting colors on the walls caused by the minerals in the water trickling through the cave.

A small valley without noise (rare in the area) but I did not go to the lagoon because it was dry. Take the paths on the sides rather than walking on the pebbles. The climb to the viewpoint is worth it (starting with cement steps next to the abandoned toilets), then dirt steps then no more steps at all. Progression in a chaos of rocks where you can help yourself with your hands. No loose stones. 100 m after the viewpoint sign at 50 m, you arrive by rocks and ladders at a solid platform made of planks. There is an even more dizzying balustrade but the ramps seem to be in poor condition. The view is already impressive! It's worth it

Entrance fee 20,000 Kip (01/2025). You can also buy drinks at the top.

A very nice and big cave. Take the torch light

From here you have a beautiful view of the mountains at sunset. You can enjoy a sundowner cocktail right at the stand there.
