  • 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
  • Vang Vieng, Laos Well saw what you want about Vang Vieng and many people do but you will have a good time tubing on the river. Many people complain that the town has lost its soul and is nothing more than a backpacker Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Aug 14, 2009
  • Vientiane, Laos Well I've made it to the capital of Laos. To be honest I'm not greatly impressed with the town. While the rest of the country has a laid back and chilled out feel Vientiane and more of a dull dreary Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Aug 1, 2009
  • Journey to Vientiane So far in my travels in Asia I've had some 'adventures' on various buses. In Asia you assume that buses won't leave on time, you'll be very cramped, they won't leave until they are full, not just humans ride the Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Jul 27, 2009
  • Pakse, Laos My next port of call in Laos after Si Phan Don was Pakse the capital of the Champasak province. I arrived here after using a boat and bus (my magic ticket again proving it's worth - I'm half tempted to Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Jul 27, 2009
  • Chiang Mai/Laos Hello! Oh my Buddha I'm still alive! Just been really busy trying out all sorts of new things! I'm having the best time of my life! No joke! Chiang Mai We went on a three day trek up a mountain in the Posted by dsaya in SE ASIA | Aug 3, 2009
  • Si Phan Don, Laos Well after the shennagins at the border I arrived in Laos and my first destination was Si Phan Don, more commonly known as the four thousand islands. This collection of islands is found just over the border in the heart Posted by ronanm32 in The Eastern Campaign | Jul 27, 2009
  • Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang So, after a 24hour bus ride from Hanoi (capital of VIetnam) to Vientiane (capital of Laos) we arrived and met Ruth :) She had met a Canadian girl called Becky on the bus who has now joined the travelling crew!

  • Hue to Laos. This blog entry comes from a computer about 20 yards off the Mekong river. I'm sitting in an internet cafe on Don Khong island, enjoying the first full non travel day in Laos. So far Laos has been a welcome Posted by The Cowans in SE Asia 2009 | Jul 31, 2009
  • Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Sapa So we eventually arrived in Hanoi and had an evening mooching round the bustling streets. It's a really cool place, motos and cyclos come at you from all angles, there are loads of yummy places to eat on the street Posted by E Bailie in Elizabeth's Big Adventure! | Jul 27, 2009
  • Mismatched That would be the word I would use to describe Vientiane. The whole city is entirely mismatched. I woke up one morning, made my way downstairs and was greeted by a woman who had come to sell vegetables. She carried Posted by dsaya in SE ASIA | Jul 14, 2009
  • Last day in Luang Prabang Today is my last day in Luang Prabang as I fly to Hanoi tomorrow. This place has been great and I have really relaxed and taken things at a slow pace. The people of Laos are quite shy Posted by Pixie80 in On the Road Again!!!!!!!!! | Jul 14, 2009
  • 4000 Islands - Southern Laos After flying to Pakse in southern Laos, we immediately got a local bus (a pick up truck with some benches in) to the 4000 islands. Our first stop was Don Khong the largest island. However the bus wasn’t Posted by exptravel in Experience Travel News & Tips | Jul 14, 2009
