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...

Muong Noi - where there's always a new beginning!

(Katie) Muong Noi is a tiny town that most tourists to Laos miss. It sits at about the same latitude as Huay Xai (I used that city because it's closest - the map on this site doesn't list Muong Noi) but on the opposite side of the country, close to the eastern Laos border. It would just be...

Kayaking out of Luang Nam Tha

(Michael) This posting is for Luang Nam Tha Luang Nam Tha, in Northern Laos, is a little town by any standard. Not much can be seen in this dusty little strip, besides a small market, a few guest houses, and a restaurant or too. It borders the Nam Ha National Forest, and for this reason, it's...

The upside of French colonialism

(Katie) (** I was just scrolling through the blog entries and realized I wrote this one three months ago, saved it as a draft and never published it. Oops! Oh well, here you go! :) Strolling down the road on our evening in Houay xay, I noticed little dogs running around everywhere,...

A superb Green Discovery trek

Our last evening in Luang Phabang ended with us getting a full refund for the laundry to compensate for the lost shirt. We felt a bit guilty as they had done a good job with the clothes they did return, but it still probably wasn't enough to cover the replacement shirt. In the morning my...

Food and Buddha in Luang Phabang

The bus journey to Luang Phabang was horrible for me. The road was at least as twisty as the road to Phonsavan and the lao-lao hangover would not abate. After far longer than expected we arrived and found a reasonably cheap hotel not far from the centre of town. As Luang Phabang is a UNESCO city...
