Bungva (“Va Lake”)

This is the largest lake lying in the outskirts of the Savannakhet City. Along the lake shore, several restaurants have opened up and some provide gazebos (small covered platforms) where you can enjoy lunch or a cold beer Lao while enjoying beautiful scenery or even rent pedalos to get out onto the lake.

 The lake is a perfect stop before or after visiting That Ing Hang(“Ing Hang Stupa”). To find the lake, head out eastwards from the Savannakhet City for about  12km – it is also sign - posted from the edge of the city. 

While there are two ways out to That Ing Hang, the lake lies along the way of the shorter option for getting there. The restaurants are open daily from 9am to 9pm.
