Things to Do in Pakxe, Laos

#citypassguide #pakxe #laos 🛵 Before You Start * Reserve a motorbike in advance. It can be hard to find one before noon. * If you're arriving by sleeper bus, some hostels may allow early check-in (mine did at 6:30 AM). * Personally, I don’t recommend sleeper buses in Laos—they’re not very comfortable. 🌊 1. Tad Fane Waterfall * One of the most impressive waterfalls I’ve ever seen. * You can try ziplining over the waterfall for an adventurous experience. ☕ 2. CC 1971 Café * A unique café set inside a restored old house with minimal touches. * Has a stylish, Instagram-worthy atmosphere—great for photos and relaxing. 🛕 3. Wat Phousalao (Golden Buddha) * A hilltop temple with a large Golden Buddha statue. * Popular spot for watching the sunset over Pakxe. * About 20 minutes by motorbike from the city center. * A giant seated Buddha statue is also nearby, offering panoramic views of the city. 🔁 4. Optional: Pakxe Loop * Just like in Thakhek, there’s an optional Pakxe Loop for motorbike travelers. * You can explore waterfalls, Bolaven Plateau, coffee plantations, and remote villages. * Consider spending 2–3 days if you're doing the full loop. #citypassguide
