tubing paradise

Yesterday was halloween so we joined the rest of the tourists in Vang Vieng by going tubing. tubing is what this town is known for. it has evolved from taking a blown up tube (like a dougnut) down the river on the current, to end up in town, to a bar crawl. all the hotrockers dressed up in the...

police, leaches and torential rain!

Bush camping 20 minutes to the north of Vang Vieng did not go well! We arrived and set up camp in a sort of forest area by the side of the road and cooked dinner successfully. It wasn’t until most of us had gone to bed after a camp fire that it started to go wrong! The police turned up with...

Vang Vieng

. Showed up and only saw white people. Totally touristy. Wondered around looking for a place to stray since we are guys and don’t plan a head. We found one. It was positioned in between 3 bars!!! But for 50,000 kip (3.17 dollars;)) a night it was just right for the first night. Went and got...

Tubing and Defying Death

We got a nice cheap local bus to Vang Vieng which, in contrast to all the nasty expensive "VIP" buses we had taken so far, dropped us where we wanted to be dropped, at the town, rather than at the bus station several kilometres outside of town. All bus stations in Asia seem to be located between...

Same same, but different

Vang Vieng is a pretty famous tourist spot in Laos, especially among the backpackers, because of its party atmosphere and dramatic landscape, ideal for practising extreme sports. It sounds fun but, unfortunately, so much tourism is ruining the stunning magic of its emplacement, as it has led...

Tubing in the dark

The journey from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang really couldn't have started any better - I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had whilst waiting for the bus to go. A chicken and salad baguette with a touch of mayo. The bread was perfect - not too soft, not to brittle. The chicken was...
