Laos in February

A lunch in a countryside restaurant is a very relaxing and enjoyable experience
Some traditional dancing during lunch
A beautiful sunset in Vientiane, partly due to the smog

Vientian has very few attractions, but they do have quite a few restaurants out in the suburbs made of individual huts where you can sit and relax for hours, having a lunch, drinks and enjoy with friends some local music or possibly some modern pops.

Pakse is at the corner of two Rivers, the Mekong, and another river, and has a very beautiful views

pakse is in the south and it’s famous for the entrance to the mountains to the east which are famous worldwide for coffee beans, mostly arabic, as well as beautiful scenery and some fantastic waterfalls, some with swimmable pools. Rent a motorcycle and go around this area.

Luang Prabang is a world heritage site well worth visiting

Luang Prabang is a world heritage site and it’s a very walkable town with some more distant attractions as well. It is now very accessible by train as well as plane and is probably the most sought after vacation destination in Laos.

This is not really beef. It is actually spicy red ant eggs. A very bad translation.
