This medium-sized waterfall is a must-visit! You can feel the freshness, beauty, and peace of nature, but unfortunately, you can’t swim in it. There’s a cute little pavilion that makes for a great photo spot. The way down is a bit steep, and you’ll have to bend down a few times because of the trees along the way. Inside the park, you’ll find restaurants, ice cream, and water for sale. The path is beautifully decorated, and there are clean bathrooms. There’s a dirt parking lot. The waterfall is pretty close to the parking lot. There’s a small entrance fee to get into the park.

Such an incredible waterfall. The nature around it is breathtaking it feels like you’re in a dream. During the rainy season, the waterfall is full and powerful , making it even more magical. I even saw a fox there it felt like a scene from a fairytale.☀️💦

I finally visited one of Laos’s most famous waterfalls from my bucket list. Going in the rainy season was amazing surrounded by green mountains, water, and fog. The entrance fee was 50,000 Kip, a bit pricey but the view was worth it. I also got to learn some local culture and take lots of beautiful photos. Definitely coming back with my family next time.

Beautiful and huge, so much water power that it is windy and rains from under. Much better than Tad Fane, but still overpriced, with the amount of money they make on entry fees + parking fees the infrastructure should be so much better. Also, the scooters parking area it's all mud.

I really like this place, I like the nature, it's so beautiful, I went and I didn't want to go back and I think I will go again and again.

Once again traveling during the rainy season you get to see these waterfalls really flowing. Entrance fees in Laos are reasonable .

If I can ever be as peaceful as bunch of cows snacking on grass at the edge of 42m waterfall, I reached enlightenment

We took shelter in that mall to flee from the heat wave outside. The food court offers enough options just like a food market but with air conditioning. Many locals were having lunch there. If you still rather have western food, other restaurants surround the court. The tables are rather clean and the staff is reactive. Not contactless payment card here you pay at the counter and you are served at the table. Espresso is expensive and not that good.

They have like street food in the evening start around 16.00 and there are quite many kind of food.

it is a small mall but i believe it is the pride of Pakse. On evening, there is a Food Street just outside the mall. My kids love the amusement centre to play coin operated machine games. not much shops though, very basic rural mall.

Nice place to spend time and enjoy the quality time with friends and family. Good shopping options available.

Very nice place to pick up the essentials, as well as has an incredible movie theater at a great price. The mall also acts as a community center, so you can see fashion shows, holiday events (local and western, like Christmas) and the like. I wish they had a cafe or some place offering WiFi, though.

The mall was a shelter in the incredible heat, and also we could change money for very good rate. Also the food in the Japanese Restaurant was perfect.

Medium size mall variety of stores and supermarket and food

We saw this was quite busy each night so decided to give it a go (especially since they do tofu and my partner is vegan). When we arrived, a staff member greeted us and turned the fan on above us leaving us with a good first impression. Once we ordered however, things declined. The friendly staff member we had left and another person came in (worth noting they were both children). Our food took a very long time and they brought it all out together, typically things like spring rolls get brought out as appetizers so I'd recommend asking for an order of food as that for sure contributed to our long wait (note that there was only 1 other table as we ate early circa 5:15pm). Once it arrived, it was very bland. I got Thai basil and it was lacking in spice and flavour (better flavour on the food you get on long bus journeys). My partner said it was completely flavourless and was a difficult eat. The staff at this point also had completely disappeared. The place itself is relatively clean and nice but we would certainly not recommend this place unless you really struggle with food and need something western/basic.

second time to order in this resto, dine in and the last time was take out but same result of service. For this 4 tiny pieces of fresh rolls it took more than 40mins considering the few guests dining, plus the cold treatment of the servers

Careful... they served big potion. Slightly above average price.... but they compensate you with big portion dishes.

Located next to the Green Paradise bus stop in Pakse, so a good spot for a first beer.

I cannot honestly recommend this restaurant. The staff were a bit ignoring, but the time of the food processing was ok. However, we ordered two fried rice vegetables and they were literally not tasty at all. We've eaten hundreds of fried rice before and this was one of the few without taste except the salt.. The vegetables were also low. When paying at the counter, the woman behind the desk "suddenly made a mistake" about the price. (We only ordered two fried rice vegetables and one beer, so it was not difficult at all). Luckily we had read the reviews before about the same situation that has experienced by several people. (Pro tip: filter them always from low to high). So, we had already counted the correct amount of money. Therefore, please, keep an eye on the right amount of money when paying at the end. We will definitely not visit again!

plenty of seating!!! fans above the tables!!! very nice Atmosphere ✅ food Tastes fresh!! wow! what a relaxing place to eat Lunch and Dinner 🍽 i will go back for more! they treat ya really Nice here ~ 😃

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! if you want comfort food this is the place . it’s family own have honestly everything feel like it was made with love 🤗❤️ our server seem like he was the owner son. his english was really good. usually when i go to this types of restaurant i would always have to help translate. during our trip we came here like every single day. and we were please every time!! the only thing i just don’t recommend is the hamburger. my stomach had trouble digesting afterwords. their hamburgers are different. they put carrots and cucumbers just to warn y’all. i recommend all the traditional laos food such as the papaya salad, fried rice, tom yum, and the fried fish . and not only is the food good. the prices are sooo cheap!!! 20k-60k kip if i remember. this place attracts many foreigners. it’s definitely what you’re looking for when your in laos. it’s only street parking so i recommend walking or taking a motorcycle.

Wat Luang – Pakse 🇱🇦🙏 A beautiful and peaceful temple with stunning architecture and a serene atmosphere. 🏯✨ The monks were incredibly kind—they generously offered us food and lots of snacks after learning we were students and travelers. 🍛🥠 Such a heartwarming experience! Truly a place of spirituality, culture, and kindness. 🧡🌿

A wonderful cultural experience. Feeding the fish for a small donation was a treat. Views of the river are breathtaking at sunset.

Interesting temple that is located on the banks of the Mekong in Pakse. Is interesting to look around and go inside, much quieter than other temples I’ve been to in Laos. Free to enter

powerful of energy very beautiful, great for peace, love, wisdom, compassion, fogiven of Buddhism!

Very nice place and very easy to find, I don't have the picture but i have only the video, this take from in front of the temple.

In comparison to other regional temples this is ordinary in comparison. The usual colourful buildings and serene prayer hall. Many ornate tombs and stupahs are in the grounds.

I've seen a lot of pagodas in my days, and there isn't really anything too special about this one. It overlooks the Xe Don River in the back, making it a good place to view some boat races if it's that time of the year, but otherwise I can't really think of a reason to make an effort to come here.

The local market offers a diverse array of products, with several businesses being owned by individuals from Cambodia and Vietnam.

It generally seemed quite typical for a market in SE Asia, however I would say much more on the dirtier side. I would be unsure about eating from here (and I love market food). It smelled quite bad but there was a lot of variety of vendors.

Go to pakse, don't expect it to be like vietnam, it's more reserved and much more calm than saigon or Hanoi, it's even quiet compared to Huế, but you can relax a lot here in pakse and the market is big enough for your day out

Prices at the foodcourt are either not indicated or not abided by. Most restaurants don't display their prices at all. One restaurant displayed 15000 for most dishes, yet charged 45000 after cooking. Another restaurant even asked me 60000 for a simple dish. Another problem at this market is the beggars. There are adult begars but, even more worryingly, child beggars. Yet, there is not a single police officer in sight! I kindly ask Pakse police to pay attention to what is going on at this market.

Big market! Food to eat, meat, fish, dessert, gold, everything that makes Laos Lao is here! Friendly ppl and lots of neat things to check out. I bought a beautiful sarong to wear to Lao festivals. Try to learn basic Laos because it will go a long way.

HUGE local market. Very traditional Lao wet market selling everything imaginable. Good place to buy Mekong fish.

huge local market where people gathering from early morning to sale different kind of fish and vegetables. you can find most of everything but i would say banded closthes are very simple and it's not a brandy one u would find here so in case if you want to buy a better one go other shopping more. i usually prefer to mekong fish here in the easrly morning because most of them are fresh

Take a look at this massive golden Buddha statue perched on a hill. You can either climb up the 600 steps or drive up the hill for about 4.9 kilometers. From up there, you’ll get a breathtaking view of the serene city of Pakse and the Mekong rivers. And it’s completely free to enter!

Temple on the top of a hill, with a 23 meters high Buddha statue, and numerous smaller ones. Good view over Pakse. There's a 250 steps staircase if you feel sporty. But you can also drive up there. It's built around 2011, and it's nice, but nothing special.

There are over 300 steep steps up the hill to reach the golden Buddha. Take your time but make sure you bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Good views of the area from the top of the hill. No tickets required.

Beautiful temple, with a big Buddha sitting on top of mountain as though he is looking after the Pakse area and it's people, again rows of little Buddha statues is something very unique to this temple. Other than that amazing view of Mekong River, Pakse, mountains and one could definitely enjoy the sunset from this temple.

An absolutely stunning spot with breathtaking views over the river and Pakse. We walked all the way from the city, crossing the bridge on foot and then climbing up the staircase — you’ll see it on your left about 300 meters after the bridge. Yes, it’s a bit of a workout (around 600 steps through the forest), but completely worth it — and honestly, way more fun and rewarding than just taking a tuk-tuk. As you climb, the views start peeking through near the top, but the real payoff is the panoramic view from the summit. It’s truly unforgettable. If you’re able, I highly recommend going on foot. The stairs make for a unique experience and really add to the journey. You can also get there by taxi or tuk-tuk if needed, but the hike makes it feel earned. Overall, this is a must-visit when in Pakse — peaceful, scenic, and memorable.

Stunning views!!! We parked in the first paking because of the mud. You have to climb 500 steps but it was worth it. It's free. 100% recomend it!

Awesome view of surroundings mountians and the town. You can drive vehicle directly to the Temple

We all 4 of us came for the pizza but did not had the budget for it at the end. We all took Asian food and it was really good, laap, fried noodles and the chicken with cream. Service was good. Beer were fresh and it was overall cheap!

absolute best pizza in pakse, everyone should come to keep it open, if you dont like this pizza, you just dont like pizza

The best pizza in Pakse managed by one cool chef. They are no-table restaurant and they have only pizza. No spaghetti, no salad, no fried, only pizza. I order and sit at the nearby groceries store.

Good French restaurant in Pakse. They have some French and Lao foods. The bruschetta and grilled chicken with original sauce are really nice!

Delicious pizza, well worth a visit. It's not really a sit-down restaurant, but you can put in your order and come back to pick it up for takeaway/take-out. The owner is friendly and provided good service. Good value for the price, too - the pizzas were large and filling.

Pizza like the ones from your good pizzaria at home. It seems as if the resturant is struggling a bit after covid. The resturant has chanced its name, the menu card has been downsized as well as the resturant it self. In spite of all that the good quality pizza’s are still incredible. Very humble owner who I would recommend supporting if you want takeaway or don’t mind eating a place that’s not fancy. An extra plus was that the portions were so big that I could bring a few slices back to the hostel (note: my boyfriend did finish all of his)

Clean place, good hosts and tasty food. Pizzas as well as the Chicken in French sauce was the best available in Pakse. Pizza was freshly baked then and there !! Very down to earth. Do not expect a pretentious show of hospitality. Genuine warmth of Lao people is there. Must visit place. Only downside was it doesn't have the kind of booze options like some other places.

I love it here! Almost couldn't find this cafe cause it's hidden in the small alley. But worth it! Love the orange coffee and the friendly Japanese owner who lives there for 10 years! Will come back for sure!

Very good coffee! We were able to try specialty coffee grown in Laos and Vietnam. And he does an incredible latte! For all the Australians out there, they will love it!

Loved it here, spend my morning working, the atmosphere is sublime, the owners is super nice and… coffee is delicious. They dont habe many food options, so maybe not ideal for breakfast/lunch, they just offer some pastries.

The owner is a Japanese who knows coffee very well. I love the ambiance where it smells rustic vintage and they played nice jazz there. Coffee is great. The place is between 2 blocks of shops. It is rather small but if you are hunting for good coffee in Pakse, this is the absolute best place to go.

Definitely the best cafe in Laos. Amazing coffee, good bakery, cozy atmosphere, lovely cat, super kind owner of the cafe. Just perfect.

Cozy and calming coffee shop, sweet owner, and many incredible handmade items for sale. Coffee and teas were delicious!

Cant use any word except PERFECT. The best place in Pakse. I really relaxed there with delicous coffee, tender music and a short nice conversation with the Japanese owner. He has some handmade goods for sales, photos that taken by himself, and also uses them for decorating. The shop also has cakes. I really like the way he handles all of those things alone. If i have a chance back to Pakse, will visit it again for sure.

The coffee here was surprisingly nice, given Dao Coffee is mostly sold as instant 3-in-1 sachets. Vietnamese breakfast dishes are served, with nice bread rolls. Can get crowded with big groups having breakfast on some days, and seems to attract highso clients.

Our drinks were ok, but nothing special. The staff seemed weirded out that we were there. But the shop is in a convenient location and it was clean.

Even here is a bit pricey compared to others in the area but the place is clean with proper waitresses. And the food is also good and come in a huge serving portion. Always my stop for food when I go to pakse

The cafe is spacious. But the service is very slow. The staff does not remember the dishes that customers ordered and brings out the wrong ones. The experience here is frustrating.

Nice and common place to have breakfast, all dish very tasty

Nice breakfast we got here. Chicken pho, with rice noodles. Good choice for breakfast.

Good place for having simple Vietnamese dishes for breakfast or brunch. You can have varieties of Dao Coffee here

Stopped by Dao Lin Restaurant for lunch and was really impressed! From the moment I arrived, the place had a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere — clean, bright, and comfortable, making it a great spot for a midday meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful, offering quick service with genuine smiles, which made the experience even better. The menu is extensive, with a huge variety of dishes to choose from — something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for local Lao specialties or something a bit more familiar. I decided on the fried chicken and sticky rice combo along with an order of fried spring rolls. The chicken was perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — and paired really well with the sticky rice. The spring rolls were golden, crunchy, and packed with flavor. Everything came out fresh and hot, and it was clear that care went into the preparation. Dao Lin is a great choice if you’re looking for a solid, well-rounded meal in Pakse. It’s the kind of place you could easily return to more than once and still find new things to try. Definitely worth a visit!

Really nice food, little more expensive but nice place, we had bbq chicken (basically grilled chicken breast), veggies with chicken and spring rolls, shakes are good too

Went there as it was close to our hotel, it was recommended by our guide, while the neighborhood is not great but the food was very good. We ordered several dishes all of which were tasty.

Stopped by for lunch and was really impressed! The menu has a ton of options but I went with the fried chicken legs and papaya salad combo, plus some fried spring rolls. Everything was quite delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was clean and pleasant. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!

It is a restaurant that I have gone to when I have visited Champasak. It is such a nice restaurant and have a vast variety of food. You can find an authentic taste of Laos cuisine here. The price is acceptable with the amount of food that they provide to us. Highly recommended to come over and have your dinner here.

Amazing and so sweet. Dao Lin means two daughters and it’s family run. Quick service and a large menu selection including vegan and vegetarian. We had lots of fun here and you must try avocado shake with coconut milk.

A/Cs and fans blowing at you in a glass house. Guests coughing. The dragonfruit shake tasted foul, had to "keep it" and pay for it anyway. Food was drowning in black pepper, couldn't taste much behind it. The mushrooms had good texture. Big portion. The meat tasted like it didn't belong in the food, tasteless. This place probably makes good vegetarian foods. I would not come here alone, if again at all.
