The last day of the Loop was very enjoyable as we made our way back to Thakhet the way we had come on day 1.
- Day 1: Leaving Thakhek – Rental Tips and the First Limestone Caves
- Day 2: Into the Remote Mountains – Villages, Dust, and Stunning Landscapes
- Day 3: The Highlight – Exploring the Epic Kong Lor Cave by Boat
- Day 4: The Final Stretch – Cooling Down at Cool Springs and Heading Back (This article)
We took half a day to make it back to Thakhet stopping along the way for food and sightseeing.









We also spent time in Thakhek sightseeing. It’s a chilled little town on the Mekong.
