      hi Morgan F Batt,
      Actually, Phou Bia mountain doesn’t have much information yet. but, you could easily do that as a day trip if you got someone who is guide or local to take you. there is probably still a fair amount of UXO in or around those areas, and if there are no trails to walk on it could be pretty dangerous.
