Timeline
16:45
Walk to the Sala Kham viewpoint to scout the angle. The sun sets toward the WSW, and this spot offers a clear view of the green rice fields of Ban Keosamphanh against the sky.
17:00
Head to Le Panorama on the 7th floor of Pakse Hotel. Order a drink or a light bite from their Western and Asian menu. The rooftop setting provides the best view over the town and Mekong to prepare for the sunset.
17:45
Stay at Le Panorama for the moment itself. As the sun sets toward the WSW, watch the light fade over the landscape from the only rooftop restaurant in Pakse.
18:15
Walk down to the Sunset viewpoint just 9 minutes away. Stay for a while as the last light lingers over the fields of Ban Keosamphanh.
Local tip
Le Panorama is not cheap, but the view makes up for it. Check that you have enough time to get to the rooftop before sunset, as it opens at 16:30.
Check before you go
