Useful information for the traveler to Vang Vieng: The travel agency I used had an awesome staff and wonderful service. They helped with my every need and made me feel at home while I was in town for my honeymoon. The Vang Vieng Grand Hyatt is rated as one of the top five luxury hotels in all of Asia. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like royalty (at least that is how I felt).
One of the main attractions in town is the Phu Si Ayutthaya National Park. This park is a very large and well maintained area that offers hiking, rafting, cycling, scuba diving, snorkeling and more. The entire place has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO and is a very popular travel destination with both local and foreign tourists. If you are staying at a Vang Vieng travel agency there are many different cheap hotels you can stay at while you are in town; they are all full of character and very comfortable with good food.
You should always make sure you have some extra time before your trip because travel delays can happen at any time. You do not want to be stuck in a small, dirty, and uncomfortable room for two days or more. The travel agency I use also offers a free shuttle service from our hotel to the airport, which would definitely take off some extra hours from your time. I highly recommend the services they offer and would definitely use them again if I were to plan a trip to Vang Vieng in the future.
