One of the most popular attractions out of town is a boat trip to the Pak Ou Caves, typically also stopping at one of the handicraft villages (we stopped at the whiskey-making village when I went, but other craft-making-for-the-tourists villages are available). You can charter your own boat and boatman for the trip, or join one of the daily group departures by walking down to the ticket booth at the dock (opposite Saffron Café).
The caves and handicraft villages are very touristy, but the couple of hours lazily travelling up and down the river is a lovely way to spend half a day.
