A gentle walk through the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage town, from the Royal Palace through the temple quarter to the tip of the peninsula, back along the Mekong and up Mount Phousi for sunset. Start in the early afternoon and dress for temple visits.
A half-day bike ride linking skills, culture and community: a vocational training institution, the ethnology centre, and the paper-making and weaving villages across the Nam Khan. Mostly flat on quiet roads; buy directly from makers to support local livelihoods.
An easy late-afternoon walk from the quiet Nam Khan to the seasonal bamboo bridge, around the tip of the peninsula to the Mekong for sunset, dinner by the river and the glow of the Night Market.
