JP Goes Global's video: VANG VIENG LAOS Blue Lagoon Caves Exploration and Beautiful Landscapes

Vang Vieng, Laos is one of the most beautiful places I have visited. Don't let its reputation as a party town fool you! This backpacker haunt is surrounded by stunning fields and majestic mountains. Surprisingly, one of my favorite places in Laos! Thanks for watching!

The next morning, a group of people I met at my hostel and I rented bikes and explored the surrounding area. We first went to the Blue Lagoon, which had sounded like a magical nature wonder of the region. In reality, it was a recreational park of sorts, where local families and tourists came to have picnics and splash around in pools of questionable, smelly water. Included in the entrance fee is Tham Phu Cave, which made the whole visit worth it! This cave was massive and so beautifully lit from the outside. As we ventured deeper, we visited a small, peaceful shrine to the Buddha and a tunnel covered in muddy handprints from previous visitors of the cave. The rest of the afternoon was pretty chill. We had lunch at this nonprofit center, Sae Lao Volunteering Project, which provides education, employment, and sustainable development to the local community. Then we found another cave that seemed closed to visitors. We decided to sneak in and found many amazing geological formations and critters. 🎶MUSIC🎶 "Dreams" by Dj Quads (https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/dreams) DISCLAIMER: This description and comments may contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on a product link, I will receive a small commission.
