Rianda had never been in a tuk-tuk before so we opted for one over a much less exciting mini-van for the short trip.


Outside Luang Prabang International Airport for our short hop to Vientiane.


The Terminal was brand new but for some reason they had a few old worn kitschy seats from the old Terminal. Very 1960's!


The Lao Airlines A320. The flight from Luang Prabang to Vientiane is only 215 kilometres. I did look into catching a bus for such a short trip but the expected travel time was over 12 hours!


The muddy brown Mekong river under the starboard wing soon after take-off.


Total flight time was less than 30 minutes but we still got a snack and drink.


Disembarking at Wattay International Airport (VTE).
