Vientiane International School

Sports facilities in Vientiane include a few tennis courts; bring your own racket. There are two Hash House Harriers running groups. Most Saturday afternoons a group gets together to play softball.

Groups also get together to play basketball, volleyball, touch and tackle rugby (men's and women's), court hockey, even Ultimate Frisbee on the sandbanks of the Mekong. These activities (and future activities) depend on people initiating and organizing them according to their own interests.

There are also health clubs at several hotels and a number of Gyms around town. An international community drama group and choir also perform. There is an evening bridge group, a reading group, and who-knows-what-other interest groups have formed . . . all definitely the "do it yourself" variety.

A public swimming pool is centrally located, and several hotels and gyms offer health club memberships. There are two golf courses, one 14 km south of town and another smaller course (9 shorter holes) 6 kilometers north of town.

The Women's International Group (WIG) publishes the Vientiane Guide, a valuable source for general Vientiane information.
