We back to Vientiane again. To fit all the things that I done in Vientiane and all the yummy food that I tried in one post is very hard. So, I will only name a few.

| Tha Ngon |

| Heua Phae Tha Ngon Lao Derm Restaurant |
We had lunch at one of the famous restaurant located in the middle between Vang Vieng to Vientiane. You have the choice to just sit in dining area of the restaurant overlooking the calm flowing water or get onto the big bamboo-rafting like house and floating around the river while having you delicious meals and completed with karaoke to perfection the entire journey with friends and family. However, there is a little extra cost for the boat. As we came with a little boy, we thought it would be a little hard to handle him on the boat. The food was pretty good but quite pricey compared to any other restaurant in Vientiane.

| Wat Phra Kaew Vientiane |
 |
| Wat Si Muang |
This is what the local belief that any unmarried couple should avoid this temple. Because they believe, people will break up if you visit this temple together with your partner. The story begin with long time ago when they built this temple, (old time belief) that they need one people to sacrifice his/her life to be thrown inside the the pole to guard the temple. In the mean time, there was this women while pregnant and broken heart, she decided to end her life and sacrifice herself to be buried underneath the pole. That's why she died with heart broken and disbelieve of any couple life.

A must try French-style baguette, very crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The filling of lao-style baguette is far different from the one we get in Western world. It is closer to Vietnamese pork roll with home made pate', some fresh vegetables and pork (ham and shredded pork). Very very delicious.
