| Road from Pakse City to Vat Phou How to go to Vat Phou complex from Pakse city
I rented a motocycle from the
guest house, day trip was not available during low season and rent a car was
too expensive for me. I went alone.
Vat Phou is located near Champasak
town, former political city of Champasak province. From Pakse city to Vat Phou
is around 38km, on sealed road. This road is new and provides faster time than
crossing Mekong River by boat, the former way to get there.
Beautiful scenery and not much
vehicles on the road, there are some gas stations, don’t worry! Don’t miss to
explore Chapasak town, and have lunch at Inthira Hotel’s restaurant…nice
pastas.
Automatic motocycle rental price 90,000 Kip per day Gas 10,000 Kip per litre, 2L each day |
