  • Laos: Part 1 After a few days in Phnom Penh we were off to Laos. We flew North to the sleepy capital Vientiane. Make that sleepy with a capital S. It seems that Laos is far behind its sister nations Posted by dacostas in A Fistful of Visas | Mar 22, 2008

  • Breakdown That's it. We're finished, we're kaput. There is nothing left in us to keep us going. For the past few days we have been searching out fancy hotels with airconditioning and passing the days horizontally.

  • Vientiane - are we in Laos or in France? We climbed off the train in Nong Khai just a few 100 metres short of the Friendship Bridge and the Thai-Laos border, so we hopped into a tuk-tuk for the 5 min journey to the immigration buildings.

  • Girl with a rucksack: the asian leg: luang prabang they say luang prabang defies all expectations, that it is a tonic for the soul--it definitely has a more relaxed, peaceful and lovely vibe to it, unlike the other cities we've been to i write this as i'm stranded in an Posted by tweedskirt in girl with a rucksack--the asian leg | Apr 5, 2008
  • Vang Vieng og Vientiane Skulle aldri, aldri ha sagt det hoyt. Jeg dristet meg enmelig til a "skryte" til de jeg reiste sammen med pa New Zealand at jeg hadde holdt meg frisk pa hele ture, over seks maneder. Skulle jeg aldri ha nevnt, Posted by Majliz in Australia 11. September 2007 | Apr 5, 2008

  • Sangha A monk in a speedboat on the Mekong: Light at a wavelength of 600 nanometres is a beautiful colour to the Dutch. Most of the rest of us might think it a bit bright for clothing. But Posted by Wardsan in Asia 2008 | Mar 30, 2008
  • Chiang Mai (Thai) - Luang Prabang (Laos) Na er jeg ankommet Luang Prabang, en by i Laos. Ingen storby, men det tror jeg man heller ikke finner svart mange av her i Laos (ingen negativ ting).

  • The Lao People's Democratic Republic Any country that calls itself a people’s democratic republic probably isn’t democratic, and Laos has been a one-party state since 1975. As in China and Vietnam, political opposition and free speech are not tolerated. As in China and Posted by Wardsan in Asia 2008 | Mar 30, 2008
  • A walk and a swim I'm recording events of ten days ago. The lag is partly down to the difficulty of finding a connection good enough to upload photos, and partly because writing about stuff has to come second to actually doing stuff. Four of us Posted by Wardsan in Asia 2008 | Mar 30, 2008
  • Huay Xai to Luang Prabang On the Lao side of the river our guide, Chan, introduces himself. He is wearing shades and talking into a snazzy cameraphone. My first impression is of a wide boy. My first impression is mistaken: Chan turns out Posted by Wardsan in Asia 2008 | Mar 26, 2008
  • From Vang Vieng Internet speeds are slow here in Laos and I don't have much time before heading out to dinner, so just a quick note. I joined the Intrepid tour from Bangkok to Hanoi last Thursday. Eight of us plus the Posted by Wardsan in Asia 2008 | Mar 21, 2008
  • Laos Arriving in Hauy Xai, We walked up the riverbank and arrived on THE main street/ the only street. Glancing left and right we were being stared at by an old guy smoking a cigarette in the shade. We smiled and Posted by the BFG in Ed and Imogens West Pacific Adventure | Mar 20, 2008
  • Vang Viene Hey. We havent updated in a while, largely due to the nature of our activities over the last week or so, so thought we'd write a little update to let you know that we haven't dropped off the edge of Posted by robandal in Rob and Al's Big Ol' Trip | Mar 19, 2008
  • Gone Missing Ok so I've been a little lax on the updates. I have actually been updating my travel map though as I've worked out where I was going next. But the map seems a little hidden. Click my profile and Posted by ClimbingK in Climbing And Travelling SE Asia | Mar 13, 2008

  • The Motorcycle Diaries Bagging my first waterfall - the impressive edge of Tad Suong Day 1 – Pakse to Salavan I’m really proud of myself, but also a little humbled. I arrived tonight Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Mar 3, 2008
  • Lazy Laos From the wooden balcony hanging precariously over a 10 meter drop, the sounds of children are plainly heard. Edging closer to the void, I’m presented with a vision of harmonious Laos life. The Mekong is about one kilometre Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Mar 2, 2008
  • The Gibbons Experience Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 430 So here I will attempt to describe how incredible this experience actually was. Although words will not do this trip justice, I will try.

  • Slowing down – Laos style. “A backpack of smiles, a dozen words of introduction and a bit of cash in the pocket – welcome to Laos!” A bit wordy for the latest Laos Tourist Bureau advertising campaign but you get the idea. I feel very Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Feb 26, 2008
  • 3250km; Sepone We were wondering why nobody could tell much about our planned road number 1F. It seemed big enough on our map and even had the convenient red color of a national highway/ major road so no problem we thought...........yet Posted by Whiskey in Hong Kong to Singapore by bike | Feb 19, 2008
  • 2950 km: Na Hin Boun NP... More Karst Mountains So, yeas we cheated. We woke up early to cycle to the bus terminal of Vientianne.
