Another good place to visit slightly out of Vientiance is the Tadxon waterfall, about 40 minutes drive from the centre.
While it is called a waterfall, we could not visit it currently as there was construction work being carrying out.
It seemed that the authority would be making this site a recreational place for Laos people. Many huts were built for families and friends to gather and have a feast.
You can order food and drinks from the restaurant and the staff would deliver them to the hut. The food was delicious.
While you were having a meal, the elephants would come and visit you. You could feed them. A gift (such as a bottle of beer) to the caretaker would be appreciated but not compulsory.
You could also take an elephant ride.
Tadxon waterfall is a good place to spend an afternoon but only if you have ample days in Vientiane.
