    Lao Textile Museum

    Tour the Lao Textile Museum. The semi-open-air space lets you see weavers at work and taste butterfly-pea flower tea. The ticket includes the tasting.

    KOOS Coffee and Co

    Grab a coffee at KOOS Coffee and Co. It is just a short walk from the museum area and opens early enough for your pre-sunset timing.

    Manoluck Badminton Court

    Head to Manoluck Badminton Park. Walk south from your coffee stop to reach this spot just in time for the sun to dip below the horizon to the west.

    The Local

    End the evening with a meal at The Local. This Asian restaurant stays open late, giving you plenty of time to unwind after the sunset.

Local tip

The museum closes at 16:00, so arrive early to make the most of the interior tour before the afternoon heat sets in.
