Tourist Attractions and Activities I want to do:

Pha That Luang “Great Stupa in Laos”:
            This is one of Laos’ most important monuments located in Vientiane. We didn’t get to visit it the last time we went to Laos and I would really love to experience it for myself! In my family home, we have these little models of Pha That Luang and I’ve always admired the gold temple and was curious what’s inside!

Wat Phou:
            This is a ruined Khmper temple near Champasak in Southern Laos. I had the pleasure of exploring this place our last visit, but I didn’t realize its vastness! It extends over some 10km of shrines and waterworks. It will be awesome to go back and experience the whole thing again and really take it all in and appreciate the wonders of Wat Phou.

Mekong River:
            This river is the blood vein of Laos, used to transportation, food, drinking washing and more! In my last visit I had the opportunity to ride in a boat with my uncle and brother, however this time I want to steer and maybe even try and some fishing in Laos! I think it will be really awesome to see what it’s like live like local and do something Lao people do everyday!

Ride an elephant:
            Laos was known as the Land of a million Elephants (Lane Xang). My last visit we went to a zoo and saw an assortment of animals. We had the opportunity to ride an elephant, which my brother did, but I didn’t. I remember exactly why I chose to not to at the time. I told my parents to save the money to buy deep fried bananas for me to eat! I loved those things! 


Scrumptious fried bananas, mouth-watering.

Especially since they were so fresh and delectable! Ah, I remember the smell and how it just enveloped my mouth with deliciousness, but looking back on the trip I felt that I missed out on that experience.

Visit my relatives, parents’ land and leave my mark:
I want to connect with relatives that I have never met before and also reconnect with the ones I have, but haven’t seen for 11 years! I want to furthermore visit where my parents plan on living and in some fashion help in making it or leave my mark some how! This is important to me because I always want my parents to know that I am thankful for them and their decision on providing their children with everything they could. It’s not much, but I think they will appreciate it.

Leaving my mark!

Phathornorkham cliff
Phathornorkham cliff is located in Nagnang village MeungFeung district Vientiane province. It is a cliff that people believe that has gold shoot, so the people call the cliff is Phathornorkham. You can see the gold shoot well at around 3:00 - 5:00, so I would love to witness this and explore more of Laos’ vast nature and beauty!
