About Vientiane
Vientiane is the capital of Laos, a relaxed riverside city on the Mekong, facing Thailand on the opposite bank. It is the country's seat of government and home to sites such as Pha That Luang and the Patuxai monument, and many travellers pass through on the way to Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng.
Laos uses Indochina Time, UTC+7, all year, with no daylight saving, and the whole country shares the same time. Vientiane is on the same clock as Bangkok, Hanoi and Phnom Penh, which keeps overland travel and border crossings simple. It is one hour behind China, a useful detail when using the railway to the north.
