The resort is located at the south-eastern shores of Nam Ngum Lake... The lake is known as the Lake Geneva of Asia and is close to the Phou Khao Khouay National Park... With an area close to 58,000 hectares, it is one of the largest lakes in Asia...
The par-72 course measuring 6,503m from the blue tee, is set amidst the lush Laotian countryside and mountain scenery...

Every Saturday at 3.45 PM a bunch of people gathers round the Nam Phu fountain. They wear colourfull T-shirts, shorts and running shoes and they have funny names, like Knackered, Catch Up and Tapeworm.
The first thing they do is pay Hash Cash (25.000 kip for foreigners) and get registered for the run. At 4 PM they pack themselves in some cars and drive to a nice area out of town, where someone has already set a run. After a drink and some vague instructions, it is "CHECK IT OUT" to find the trail. When the trail is found it is "ON ON" untill the next "CHECKPOINT" is in sight.
Usually everybody is back before dark (the runners as well as the walkers). When the GM is ready, it is time for "the circle", where sinners are being punished with a "DOWN DOWN" or some sitting "ON THE ICE". Most of the time it is great fun. And when the circle is over, you can have dinner with all the other Hashers and drink some more Beer Lao.
If you go to the Hash, bring some running-shoes, good sense of humour, T-shirt and shorts and bug repellent. It is smart to bring an extra change of cloths, in case you get wet and/or sweaty.

The Vientiane Hash House Hariers is a group of people from all ages and from all parts of the world. Every Monday they meet at another location (maps are usually posted at AVR-office, Scandinavian Bakery, Australian Club and some mini-markets) to have a run and a lot of fun.
On monday there are usually 3 runs: a short, a medium and a long. During the run there are 2 places where you can decide to go back or go on.
After the run there is a cirkel where the run is evaluated in a special way. After that, the host decides who eats first and is it time to dig in.
Costs are 50.000 kip for an adult (including drinks and food).
Wear running shoes and comfortable clothes. If you are planning to run, bring a clean T-shirt so you can change after the run. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Look for a map on Scandinavian or call for infoPhone: (021) 26 1986Website: www.laoshash.com (still under construction)

 Playing Takraw by Inpeng
Temple by Hewer
At first glance, it's a mixture of volleyball and football. You have to control the ball and get it over the rope. The aim is to make the ball touch the ground on the other side. In that way it's similar to volleyball.You can't touch the ball with your hands though. Some of the players had some amazing skill, with all their acrobatic twirls and juggling and so on.
In this case, there were a bunch of youngsters playing by Inpeng Temple. The monks didn't seem to mind. Leave a Comment

The Laos National Stadium is located in the centre of Vientiane – close to the Lao National Museum.
I’m a big sport fan so I had to have a look at the Laos National Stadium! Unfortunately it was closed, but I found an open gate and had a quick view of the stadium. Not much to see… There is a soccer pitch surrounded by a running track. The stands around the track are concrete terraces and the stadium holds a total of 20000 spectators (looked smaller).
I think you must be a sport idiot like me to find this interesting… ;-) Theme: Sports Watching
