Across the famous Boleavan Plateau, pass through coffe plantations and farms in some of Lao’s most fertile areas. Visit plantations and see how Lao coffee is making its way to a Starbucks near you. We will arrive in Champasak and take time to visit Lao’s most famous Angkor era temple, Wat Po. It is located at the base of mount Phu Kao, just shy of the Mekhong River in Champasak province.
There was a temple on the site as early as the 5th century, but the surviving structures date from the 11th to 13th centuries. Little restoration work has been done, other than the restoration of boundary posts along the path. Wat Phou was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

It is the 5th largest city and Laos and sits just opposite Thailand, Mukdahon, on the Mekong. Fabulous casion gambling and first class food and lodging are on order as we celebrate coming out “of the jungle”…
DAY 9: LAOS SOUTHERN MOTORBIKE TOURS: SAVANAKHET MOTORCYCLE TOUR TO THAKHEK
