    The service staff was good. The service staff on the hot air balloon that day was very friendly. It was a great experience. Vangrong in the early morning was really beautiful, and you could see the sunrise. We chose to go early in the morning when it was not hot, the weather was very comfortable, and you could see the sunrise. It was really beautiful, and you could see the sea of ​​clouds.

    This is a well known spot in Vang Vieng. We rented a scooter and rode here along unpaved roads passing rice fields and villages. It was hot during the day and people enjoyed jumping into the lagoon to refresh themselves. The turquoise water looks so nice to me. Those who want to rent the lifevest can do so wih a small fee, otherwise the jumping is free. They often hold a rob and swing themselves to the other side then jump down in the middle of the lagoon. They stand on a tall tree to jump too. Visiting the Tham Phu Kham Cave is free but if you need to rent a torch light, you can pay for it. There is an entrance fee to enter this area. There are several lagoons, not only this place so up to you to visit. Near the entrance there is an orange bridge which is very nice for photos. After crossing the orange bridge, walking to the lagoon is very nice with plants, grass and vendors selling foods and beverages. The place is very crowded with both local and foreigners. Bring your hat and water bottle.
