For many people, their 65th birthday is truly a milestone in life. This birthday often marks the end of your working years, as you usher in retirement and a new, more relaxed way of living. With that said, since it’s such a big moment in your life, why not celebrate it in a big way? A dream trip to exotic and beautiful Laos is a wonderful way to capture just how special the birthday is for you and give you something incredible to look forward to.
If this is the kind of trip that sparks your interest, then these essential travel planning trips will come in very handy.
Go All Out with Your Accommodations
Rather than just book a standard run of the mill hotel, why not celebrate your birthday in style and really go all out. Dreaming of luxury hotels in Vientiane Laos? Then look no further than the Crowne Plaza. You can book a luxury suite, make use of the spa and luxury facilities, and really pamper yourself. It’s all about stepping outside of your normal everyday life and living it up while on vacation. Remember, this is a milestone birthday, so splurging is okay.
Laos’ Most Well-Known Symbol
While on the topic of Vientiane, why not visit the country’s most well-known symbol which is also on its official seal. The Great Stupa or That Luang is known as the most sacred monument in the entire country. There are two temples, both of which are completely covered in gold leaf, making for a very regal and awe-inspiring vision.
Take in a UNESCO World Heritage Site
If you want to see a real piece of history then a trip to Luang Prabang in Northern Laos is an absolute must. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a small town that used to be home to the royal palaces. Today you can visit over 30 temples, royal structures, wooden houses, and plenty of colonial architecture.
You can extend your tours of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and also visit Vat Phou in Champasak. This site can be found at the bottom of Phou Kao Mountain and features temples, structures, reservoirs, and palaces from the 5th and 15th centuries.
Take in the Wildlife
If you have a soft spot for wildlife then you can visit the Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Centre, which is found deep in the jungle. As its name suggests, this is a sanctuary for bears, all of which were rescued from poachers.
Take Time to Be a Foodie
Of course, no trip to Laos is complete without making sure you sample the local cuisine. There are plenty of well-known and must-try dishes including Laap, which means “meat salad”; sticky rice; Khao Piak Sen, which is a bowl of hand-rolled thick rice noodles; and Jaew, which is a dipping sauce.
