Laos
Vang Vieng tubing and beer Laos
Vang Vieng is famous for its ‘happy shakes’ and ‘happy pizzas’ or there’s the ‘Ecstatic shake’ if you’re feeling like getting, well, ecstatic I suppose. We saw a few dudes in very ‘un-happy’ states from the shakes. The owner of the restaurant that sold them to them had to look after them all night, and it didn’t look like the best place to be freaking out on hallucinogenic pizzas and milkshakes.
Kayak to Vientiane from Vang Vieng
When I got washed out of the rapids, I kind of expected one of our guides to either be there or motion for where to go, instead I just got washed downstream and eventually swam towards the shore.
Pak Beng to Luang Prabang
We stumbled off the boat to another onslaught of tuk tuk drivers and guest house touts all after your custom. It has to be said the tuk tuk drivers here are shocking, we saw about eight people bundled into the back of a tuk tuk, only to be driven 200 metres down the street and charged 20 baht each for the ride.
Luang Prabang
This time we’ve been lucky and have spent the past few days here with a bunch of really cool people. It’s almost impossible to lose each other as there’s really only one bar and one main street.
