    Your next stop will be at Wat Simuang, possibly the most popular temple in Vientiane, located near the eastern entrance to the capital city.

    Finally you will visit Patuxai, which literally translates to ‘Victory Gate’, a war monument in the center of Vientiane, built between 1957 and 1968. The large gateway was built in memory of Laotian soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and the war of independence from France in 1949.

    In the evening you will take dinner at Makphet restaurant where you can try modern Lao cuisine. Makphet is an award-winning restaurant run by Peuan Mit, an organization founded by Friends-International which helps local families by selling their products in a small gift shop attached to the restaurant and trains homeless children how to cook and wait tables.
