  • Laos Hellooooooooooooooooooooo well, Laos is amazing, I loved it there. Not just cos it's cheap as chips but it's also gorgeous. The people are fab, the food is amazing!! and the general vibe is great. The country has Posted by blondesock in Travelling with GiGi... | Nov 1, 2009
  • Biking, caving and swimming in Vang Vieng You know you’ve been in Asia too long when you throw all caution to the wind, rent a motorcycle, get on it (no helmets) with your six-year-old, and drive around all day on rocky roads. Not me, that is—I have no Posted by The Rymans in Rymans At Large | Oct 28, 2009
  • In Luang Prabang On our first evening in Luang Prabang, recovering from the arduous journey there from Thailand, we did little other than enjoy our beer and pizza and flirt briefly with the night market on our way home. But the next morning Posted by The Rymans in Rymans At Large | Oct 28, 2009
  • Loving Laos Well, here it is finally: the picturesque little Asian town we’ve all been waiting for. Luang Prabang is just the right size—big enough to offer some sophistication and small enough that locals and travellers alike can (and do) still drive Posted by The Rymans in Rymans At Large | Oct 28, 2009
  • Pong Song My watch is not working properly. It is not displaying the digits properly. It is hard to tell if its 8pm or 9pm, 6 am or 5 am. It's a cheap watch that got damaged when it got wet. Posted by gavinbose in Travels Around The Far East | Oct 22, 2009
  • Laos - random events without a guide book My short but sweet eight days in Laos provided two welcome changes from my trip so far. First, I crossed into Laos with a rough idea of what I could fit into a week's worth of travel but I Posted by efstein in The Thing Speaks for Itself | Oct 22, 2009
  • The Gibbon Experience - Bokeo Nature Reserve, Northern Laos I'll get right to the point on this one. The Gibbon Experience (http://www.gibbonx.org/gibbon_project.php) will surely be one of the highlights of my five months abroad. The story of how I ended up living in a treehouse in the Bokeo Posted by efstein in The Thing Speaks for Itself | Oct 15, 2009
  • Laos Calm and serene as Muong Noi was, Laos is not always that way. Despite having a scattered agricultural population, once my feet landed on the well trodden path, the trappings of tourism in their different guises shaped my experience of Posted by Bimbler in Carol Goes Adventuring | Oct 7, 2009
  • Party Party, Soak and Splash, Luang Prabang - Laos From the boat in Nong Khiaw, the mass of bodies madly scramble their way to the local bus heading for Luang Prabang. Fortunately we make it aboard, unfortunately we miss out on a seat and have to make do sitting Posted by beefnlamb in beefnlamb | Oct 1, 2009
  • Maybe Muang Ngoi Neua - Laos Once in the Laos hinterland everything shifts down a few gears, and Lao time soon becomes our best friend. It's been an arduous journey but at least our driver wasn't the typical 'homicidal maniac on speed' that haunt the chaotic Posted by beefnlamb in beefnlamb | Oct 1, 2009
  • Over the Border At 5am, the time I had confirmed the night before, I turned up at Dien Bien Phu station with my backpack on and sleep dust in my eyes. "No bus today" "Yesterday you said there was" "No bus today." "Right." Posted by Bimbler in Carol Goes Adventuring | Sep 27, 2009
  • Laos To get into Laos from Thailand I got the two day slow boat down the Mekong river from Chiang Khong in North Thailand accross the border and into Luang Prabang in Laos. The slow boat was an experience!!!! Posted by BecciDrums in Becci's Adventures | Sep 22, 2009
  • Phonsavan II When we were hunting for a hostel on our first arrival in Phonsavan, we passed by an NGO office in a white painted building on the main street. It was the local branch of the Mines Advisory Group International Posted by amelia09 in Amelia's Asian Adventure | Sep 7, 2009
  • Phonsavan I I: Phonsavan We took a minivan east through the mountains towards the town of Phonsavan. The minivan was more like a private car, and quite spacious and comfortable especially for the cheap price we paid. The trip was about Posted by amelia09 in Amelia's Asian Adventure | Sep 7, 2009
  • Northern Laos You'd never think that Vientiane is a capital city. It's very small, relaxed and easygoing. After saying good-bye to Tom, the Lao-American who gave me a ride from Ka Taek, I found a relatively cheap hostel (accommodation is quite expensive Posted by 5fingerfab in Fabrice Lambert's travel diary | Sep 6, 2009
  • Southern Laos When crossing the land border from Cambodia, there is no public transport whatsoever on the Laos side, so I arrived in Nakasang, the next village on the back of a scooter. On the Mekong there are the famous 4000 islands, Posted by 5fingerfab in Fabrice Lambert's travel diary | Aug 26, 2009
  • Luang Prabang Luang Prabang is an ancient city located in northern central Laos. First established by Thai-Lao river peoples in the 6th century, the city has weathered a colourful history of kingdoms, conquests and foreign invasions. The town used to Posted by amelia09 in Amelia's Asian Adventure | Aug 22, 2009
  • The Gibbon Experience, Laos Well my last activity in Laos was certainly a case of saving the best for last! I had signed up for what is known as “The Gibbon Experience”. This is an eco-tourism project in the Bokeo national park of Laos Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Aug 16, 2009
  • Mekong River journey The story begins in Chiang Kong, northern Thailand, where I last left you, at 5am in the morning with a rooster crowing outside and six sleepy but excited girls packing up for an epic river journey. Leaving Thailand behind, our Posted by amelia09 in Amelia's Asian Adventure | Aug 16, 2009
  • Border crossing and the slow boat down the Mekong We got up bright and early to get the ferry across to Laos. The whole border crossing was very stressful with people ripping you off at every stage as you don’t really have any choice but to go with them.

  • Bus Travel in Asia Well I have just arrived in the town of Huah Xai on the Thai/Laos border after an 16 hour bus journey from Luang Prabang. Once again to round off my terrible luck with Lao bus travel the bus broke down. Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Aug 14, 2009
