- LaosHi guys Would love advice on best places to visit in Laos. We are two 'mature, adventurous' women trying to organise an exciting two weeks in Laos. Unusual places to stay, unusual modes of transport with a bit of walking in Posted by Daphne D in Laos | Jan 21, 2012
- Village Life in Nong Khiaw & Muang Ngoi Neua Hi Everyone, After our long & chilly but scenic journey to Nong Khiaw, we were craving a hot shower and a hot chocolate to warm our bones (if we weren't soft Southerners before, we certainly are now after spending 11 Posted by charlieandross in World domination 2011-12 | Jan 19, 2012
- Turn left at the old maple treeThe city of Luang Prabang is the second largest city in Laos but it's pretty small compared to cities at home. I think there may be about 20000 in the downtown area and probably another 30000 in the surrounding countryside. Posted by Lesleym33 in The Twisted Road | Jan 19, 2012
- City and countryHello from Luang Prabang! I know, it's not a very inspired start for my blog but its the best I could come up with on short notice. Let me start by saying I've decided this was a crazy idea. It took Posted by Lesleym33 in The Twisted Road | Jan 17, 2012

- The Vertical RunwayWe took the overnight sleeper from Bangkok up to the border, having tackled sleepers in India a few years ago we were more than prepared for it. The train was only an hour and a half late, not to bad Posted by Teamhill in Team Hill | Jan 17, 2012
- Slow boat to Nong KhiawBoth Charlie and I were really enthralled by river travel before we came away, particularly within SE Asia, so this first experience of a long river boat journey was really a very exciting prospect. Our 14 seater boat, skipper and Posted by charlieandross in World domination 2011-12 | Jan 16, 2012
- Luang PrabangArrived in Luang Prabang at about 7pm after a grueling 7 hour bus up windy mountains next to cliff edges. Did not enjoy and practically feared for my life the entire trip. It also said the VIP bus had a Posted by meganjane03 in South East Asia Trip | Jan 13, 2012
- Indochine Heritage in Beautiful Luang PrabangHi everyone, The last week for Ross and I has been fantastic.......we have spent the last 3 days in Luang Prabang, a beautiful heritage town, North of Vientiane. Our journey here by night bus was an interesting one. Posted by charlieandross in World domination 2011-12 | Jan 13, 2012
- What's watThis blog is inspired by a bar in Siem Reap called Angkor What? - "Look at that wat!" - "That what?" - "No, that wat." - "Oh, the wat." - "Yes, and what a wat." - "Very nice. So, what wat's that wat?" - "Well, I'll tell Posted by luv2trek in Parsons on Tour | Jan 10, 2012

- Vientiane, LaosCharlie and I are currently sitting in a coffee shop in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, waiting for our night bus to Luang Prabang. We normally wait a day or two after we have left a location before we update Posted by charlieandross in World domination 2011-12 | Jan 8, 2012
- Wat Pho and The Journey HomeOn the day before my departure, Elona and I took a short excursion to Wat Pho, an Angkor temple. It is somewhat reminiscent of Angkor Wat, though on a much smaller scale. What makes the place special is Posted by jonshapiro in Vagabonding at 60 | Jan 6, 2012

- A bike ride not to forget in a hurry===Pakse was another dead end destination (not helped by International Day -2nd December), Jorja suggested hiring bikes to the Bolevan Plateau. It was a lengthy three hour bike ride to Tad Lo, but quite rewarding as the spots by the Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Dec 3, 2011
- Kong Lo - Tha Kaek - Pakse===Another hellish journey to our next destination, tuk tuk to the nearest village about 40km away, with eleven others crammed into a seven seater minivan that got a puncture en route, then a further 40km tuk tuk ride to Tha Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Dec 2, 2011
- Kong Lo Cave===We had an early start to get to the Kong Lo caves, much to our surprise, Jorja who had stayed at Spicy Pai ended up being on the same ride. Two German girls also said they recognised us from somewhere, Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Nov 30, 2011
- Buddha Park===We made the most of our stay by hiring a bike and enduring the horrendous 25km dirt track to the Buddha Park. However the journey was well worth it as this was truly an amazing place, filled with Buddhist and Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Nov 29, 2011
- Laos capital, bit of a let down.......===Unfortunately Vientiane was more like a town than one would expect from the capital of a country. Never the less it had its pros, the food was superb! I don’t know whether it was because the food was of such Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Nov 28, 2011
- Vang Vieng – Magaluf of SEA!===Our next destination was Vang Vieng, we were a bit wary of what was in store for us, we had heard that ‘tubing’ was a messy game, where you would float down river & stop at each & every make Posted by nwetzel1 in Asia bound | Nov 27, 2011
