Day 1 of Thakhek Loop, otherwise known as Kong Lor Loop, or just simply the Loop. Breathtaking landscape, ancient Buddha caves, some sweet cold springs, and paved (for the most part) road is the magic formula for this three day escape.

Toboggan ride to the top of the mountain overlooking the Gulf of Thailand? Awesome! Ride down — thrilling! We had a really awesome time in Ha Tien, our first stop in Vietnam.
