You can also go by bicycle! Vang Vieng's great nature spots 🍃

Vang Vieng is a small town surrounded by nature.

Since the tourist spots are a little outside the city, most people join tours or rent mopeds.

However, the roads are surprisingly busy and the suburbs are bumpy😨

I was very worried about whether to rent a moped and risk death, or to walk around and risk passing out...🤔

While walking around the city, I found a rental bicycle!

I could choose between a mountain bike or a mamachari, but I chose the mamachari because I was used to riding it.

It was ₭80,000 for a day. (I was told the return time was 6pm, but I hesitated and returned it at 7pm, and there was no additional charge.)

I also wanted to use the bike the next day, so I paid an additional ₭80,000 and rented it until the next day.

The staff at this shop spoke English, so communication was smooth.

⭐️Blue Lagoon 1
Leaving the city around 10am🚲💨
On the way, I was impressed by the nature, taking pictures of animals and scenery, and arrived around 11:30am.
There were quite a lot of people and the water wasn't as clean as I thought it would be.
I just took pictures and finished.

⭐️Tham Phu Kham Cave
I walked past people swimming and headed to the Tham Phu Kham Cave in the back.
The road was too rough😱
With the help of a man walking in front of me, I managed to reach the place where I could see the Buddha statue, but I was sweating and scared so I couldn't go any further.

⭐️Nam Xay Viewpoint
This is a viewpoint right next to Blue Lagoon 1, but I didn't go there that day (I got lost) and came back by bicycle the next morning.
The climb up and down here was also too hard and scary, but the view was amazing!
It rained the night before, so the path up was muddy and slippery and really dangerous😨
I gave up on keeping my jeans and sneakers clean and went down the mountain.
After this, I had them washed at a dry cleaner in town.

If you rent a bicycle in the morning, you can easily get around the main tourist spots in the suburbs!
If you're traveling alone and can't ride a moped, don't give up and rent a bicycle to test your stamina🕺
