P 70 Pottery, Cooking and Candle Making Classes
Arrive at P 70 Pottery, Cooking and Candle Making Classes. Explore the lovingly designed interior and enjoy a typical Lao dish like Laab or mango sticky rice. The staff are attentive and ask about dietary requirements, making it a comfortable start to your evening.
17:22
Walk four minutes to the Mekong Sunset Viewpoint. This spot is positioned to face WSW, aligning perfectly with the sun's path on January 15th. It is a short, easy walk from the anchor, allowing you to secure a good spot before the crowd arrives.
17:52
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 17:52, casting a warm glow over the Mekong. Enjoy the quiet moment as the light fades.
18:22
End your evening at Lanxang Park, just 13 minutes away. It is a relaxed space to unwind after the viewing. If you prefer a drink, Books and Tea L'Etranger is only 3 minutes from the anchor and offers a cozy room with cushions for reading and lazing around.
Local tip
The bamboo bridge to P 70 is seasonal. If it is not there, take a 15-minute tuktuk ride. The Mekong Sunset Viewpoint is very close to P 70, making this a seamless loop without long walks.
Check before you go
- P 70 does not publish opening hours, but it is a business that accepts visitors for classes and meals. Check ahead if you have specific timing needs.
- Books and Tea L'Etranger has no listed hours, so check opening times if you plan to stay there late.
