Lao Red Cross
Housed in a nicely preserved Lao-French building with half-timbered walls. Proceeds go towards the Lao Red Cross so really any visit here is an act of pure selflessness. Take your own towel or sarong.

Vientiane Hash House Harriers
The Vientiane Hash House Harriers welcome runners to their two weekly hashes. The Saturday hash is the more challenging run and starts at 3.45pm from Nam Phu. It’s followed by food and no shortage of Beerlao. Monday’s easier run starts at 5pm from varying locations – look for maps at the Scandinavian Bakery or Asia Vehicle Rentals, where owner Joe Rumble is more than happy to help out.

Baw Nyai
A hot mineral spring can be visited near Muang Kham. Baw Nyai is large and lies 18km east of Muang Kham, 51km from Phonsavan. The spring source is in a heavily wooded area where several bamboo pipes have been rigged so that you can bathe nearby, although the experience is a little disappointing owing to the muddy texture of the water.
