Buddha Park

this forum is NOT replacing travelguides, so whats clearly written in there, no need to ask! it s rougjhly across from NKhai/Thaild, so a 20/30 min ride away from town, can do on the cheap bus or hire tuktuk/jumbo.

Last time I was at the Beer Lao factory there was a sign with a phone number to call for tours. It was October, so the information was current as of then.

I got a tuktuk out there and also stopped at the culture park on the way. Even though I was practically the only person there, I found it interesting. A guide there showed me over some of the ethnic minority houses which was a real treat. Budha park is so odd, it's really a good idea to go. There is a local bus.

You can take a local bus, if I remember correctly it took about 40 minutes. On the way back from the Buddha park we stopped off at the Beer Lao factory. This was 2 years ago when they were not giving tours - I got a free beer and my wife got a free water. I also bought a key chain - which I use every day - nice memory of Laos.

We really enjoyed the Buddha Park - loved going inside the big pumpkin. We also enjoyed a nice ice cream break.

#1- I opted not to get a travel guide as I prefer to get the most current info from forums like this.

To the rest, thanks for your replies!
