I have approx 2.5 weeks holiday and am thinking heading to south Laos from BKK
I 've been to North Laos 4 years ago with Vientiane VangVieng LuangPrabang and Meuong Ngoi.
Any suggestion for itinery. I'm thinking about the Vat Phou and the 4000 islands. Any other must sees? What about Konglor cave a bit more North?
Can I cross over from Laos into Cambodia ang get visa at border ? I read it's not possible the other way round.

If you will be in Pakse, you can use that as a base to see Champsak (Wat Pu) and even head to the Bolaven area (Tad Fane falls, etc) and then from there you cold head to Si Phan Don and see the river islands, and stay there a few days to relax. You can also take a day trip to Khon Phapheng falls. Cambodian visas are available at the border crossing into Cambodia but Lao visas are not available if you are crossing into Laos from Cambodia.

It would probably be easier to head to Nakhon Phanom and cross over the Mekong to Thakek first if you want to visit the Tham Konglo and then work your way south to Pakse, visit the Bolavens, then to Vat Phu near Champasak before heading down to Nakasang for the crossing to Don Det/Khon and then onward to Cambodia. How much time do you plan to spend in Cambodia, because you could easily use up 12-15 days just for the Lao segment of your trip? Posted
