  • Phonsavan We caught the bus for 7 hours to Phonsavan, and were shocked to find the carnage that we did. Quite apart from some very grizzly sights at the fresh food market (like skewered rats, whole badgers, and a little Bambi Posted by erinjustin in Erin and Justin | Nov 18, 2006
  • Slowing down in Vang Vieng Unlike Vientienne, Vang Vieng is a place to return to. The locals and the landscape charm you instantly, and the easy going vibes are contagious. Being a very laid back town, it makes for an ideal place to stop Posted by erinjustin in Erin and Justin | Nov 16, 2006
  • The Ban Kern Adventure This zoo adventure was surreal. SEE PHOTOS AT http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q164/erinfearn/SE%20Asia/Ban%20Kern%20Zoo/ We reached the zoo on a small local bus (which was actually a ute with a cage and 2 bench seats on the back), that a tuk t Posted by erinjustin in Erin and Justin | Nov 6, 2006
  • That Luang Festival We arrived in Vientiane in time for the nations only real (certainly biggest!) annual festival, the That Luang festival! We couldn’t believe our luck!

  • Another Bussing Challenge Given the options of 2 flights over about 5 hours for $130, or a 26 hour bus ride for $25, the choice was easy – definitely fly! BUT, when we were told that the 26 hours included a 10-hour stop Posted by erinjustin in Erin and Justin | Nov 3, 2006

  • Laos! The Director's Cut (Part 3) Thinking about my whole trip through Laos, it's clear to me that this is a country that encourages you to be a sloth. I really honed my mooching skills in Laos. How many hours a day do you think you Posted by dangermaus in !? | Oct 1, 2006
  • Gibbon Experience After our hazardeous travel to Huay Xai we were all very excited to start the Gibbon Experience.

However, first we had Posted by bumble bee in Tha Shiznit | Aug 28, 2006
  • Laos Our 5 hour "bus" ride was brutal. First of all, it wasn't really a bus. It was a pick up truck with 2 narrow wooden benches in back (known as a sangthaw) which makes for very sore bums. Second of Posted by bumble bee in Tha Shiznit | Aug 27, 2006
  • First Taste of Laos After "dinner" we were looking for something to do and of course, there was absolutely nothing around, so we decided to go for a walk. After our unadventurous walk we returned to the village and saw all the villagers watching Posted by bumble bee in Tha Shiznit | Aug 26, 2006
  • Simpleton go Bee-Boo-Bop Well, I'm behind again and apparently people are reading this damn thing because I'm hearing about it. Here's a taste.

  • Laos! The Director's Cut (Part 2) After Nong Khiaw, Antouch, Chris and I caught a couple of (slow and overcrowded) buses to Vang Vieng, south of Luang Prabang. The one big drawcard of Vang Vieng is the tubing. You pay a few dollars to hire the Posted by dangermaus in !? | Sep 21, 2006
  • Laos - Route 13 - Vientiane to Don Khon Armed with the Rough Guide to SE Asia that we picked up in Hong Kong, we decided to extend our trip to include a little time in Laos, reducing our time in Cambodia but leaving plenty to cover the highlights Posted by pdsaustin in Around the world in 365 days... | Sep 13, 2006

  • How many people can you fit into a pick-up truck? Greetings (finally I’m back online!) So I last wrote from Pakse, the provincial capital of Champasak province, and over 700km South of Vientiane. Flying low over the Southern provinces of Laos, I was shocked by the tremendous devastation of Laos’ def Posted by Backpasher in Backpashing Asia | Mar 1, 2004
  • Fancy Some Spicy Sour Virgin Pork Uterus? After four lovely days in beautiful Luang Prabang, I caught a¨bus down to the small town of Vang Vieng, which is nestled in the midst of craggy limestone hills, and next to the Nom Xong River.
