Visit a local fresh food market to check out the amazing diversity of Lao food, then stop by a Lao coffee shop to try some of the local brew.
Then sneak a peek into the workshop of a family-run silversmith producing intricate traditional and modern pieces.

The itinerary is great. Noi is engaging and is very professional as a guide, sharing snippets of Laotian culture & history as me & my wife. Got to know more about Laos. The stopover at COPE was an eye opener, we left COPE silent and horrified by the pain, suffering and loss of life caused by cluster bombs or Bombies. Will certainly highly recommended COPE as an item on the itinerary. The visit to Si Muang temple reveals the intricate beauty of Laotian Buddhist architecture. Hues of red and gold adorning the ceilings of the prayer hall fills one with a sense of indescribable peace as devotees prostrate in deep reverence of Buddha. Truly unforgettable. Thank you again to Noi for taking us through this memorable, timeless journey. ????

Viengxay was very knowledgeable about the Buddhist sights that we visited but not much else. And he didn't seem interested in the other sights.
