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...

Great food and freaky Buddhas

We woke approaching Vientiane nicely rested, because the night bus was a huge improvement on the Vietnamese torture machines. At last something that is better than Vietnam! Lao night buses having you lying down properly in two layers, like bunk beds. The only potential draw back is that they...

Waterfalls and coffee on the Bolaven Plateau

In the morning in Pakse, we tracked down some nice "foe" for breakfast, which is very similar to the Vietnamese "pho" (although not quite as good). We hired a moped and headed off to the Bolaven Plateau. I was a little bit worried about the distance as I'd never driver that far before on a...

Pork in Pakse

We left Don Det for Pakse, our livers only just intact. We had been looking forward to the coffee in Laos, as the guide book said they were very proud of their coffee, believing it to be the best in the world. After the fantastic Vietnamese coffee this sounded plausible due to their proximity,...

Lazy in Laos

The day after out disappointing trek, we got the bus into Laos. Several people had advised us that Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands) in the south of Laos should be our first stop, and of the four thousand, recommended Don Det to relax for a couple of days. Si Phan Don is just across the border...

Luang Prabang and My Life as a Human Windshield

It all started in Luang Prabang. As the past capital of Laos and the French colonial capital, Luang Prabang is a small city with gorgeous architecture, a lively cultural life, and surrounded by plenty of natural beauty. Although in spite of all this natural beauty, I still managed to get...

Lovely Laos: Trekking in the Nam Ha River Valleys

100% pure unbridled nature. That’s what we got trekking through the beautiful Nam Ha Valley in northern Laos. Two full days of rigorous trekking (most of it seeming to be uphill…) brought our group through three Lanten villages and up, down and across more hills and jungles than I can...

Luang Prabang

Hiya Everyone! Dury and I are currently in Luang Prabang, in Laos! Since writing last time, we caught the bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai and stayed a couple of nights there. Chiang Rai didn't really seem to be anything special. Just a smaller and less nice Chiang Mai really....

Laos

I travel to Laos with Mariella, a Dutch friend I met on Koh Chang. After a night in Bangkok, we take a sleeper train north east to the capital of Laos, Vientiene. I lurve sleeper trains (the seats that convert to beds by 8pm, the crisp clean white sheets and the way you draw your cubicle curtain...
