Thakhek - Khammouane Province, Laos
Overlooking the Mekong River in Central Laos Thakhek is a former French Colonial town with it’s current claim to fame being the Thakhek Moto Loop. For the adventurous traveler looking for something different it just might be one of the best places in Laos. It’s not about the laid-back island vibe of Don Det further South or the temples of Luang Prabang or the party spirit of Vang Vieng. Here it’s about the Laos Caves and the motorbike adventure to explore them.
A band of karst (terrain with caves) that starts in Thakhek stretches through to Vietnam and on its Eastern end includes the largest cave in the world Hang Son Doong. That’s right, if you head East from Thakhek and kept going, you’d arrive at the largest cave in the world Hang Son Doong, as well as a host of other fantastic caves. The Caves, that’s what this area is best for. Some of the best caves in Southeast Asia and perhaps the world, and it all starts in Thakhek. To me, this region is one of the best places in Laos. It’s certainly one of the best places in Laos for an adventure.
