- 2800 km: Vientianne - traffic lights
For over 300 km the road signs along the road refused to spell the name of the city but kept referring to XXX km to the Capital City.... That made me quite curious.

After a 2 day 'cruise' down the Mekong River, our group arrived in Luang Prabang, Laos. This was probably the most peaceful, laid back place I've ever been - that is until about 3am each day when you get Posted by jamesw in James' World Tour 2008 | Feb 10, 2008
- 2626km: Vang Vieng
We have arrived in the happiest place in Laos. It is called vang vieng and is full of party people boozing and smoking their heads of while watching endless reruns of "Friends" on giant TV's. I am not making this Posted by Whiskey in Hong Kong to Singapore by bike | Feb 8, 2008
- 2560 km: Mountains
Leaving Luang Prabang we knew there would be a couple of Mountains, well we GOT mountains.

- 2350 km: Luang Prabang, city of Temples
Our first "City" in Laos turned out to be a beautiful and sleepy town dotted with Temples. Since the Unesco has certified as World Heritage the town has seen a fast growing tourism industry.

- 2350 km : The working Elephants of Hongsa
From the Mighty Mekong river there was a small and mean dirt road over a mountain range to the other side, where in a beautiful valley there are a couple of villages that together go by the name of Hongsa.

- Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang
Vang Vieng was a bit of a tourist ghetto, the town being purpose built for travellers. Accordingly the two main streets were just littered with restaurants and bizarre, but popular, TV bars - bars with TV's pumping out Friends Posted by calumfife in New York | Jan 15, 2008

Bye bye Vietnam, good morning Laos. Rather than take a 24-hour bus ride from Hanoi to Vientiane, we splurged on a flight, hopped on a plane, and stepped off 50 minutes later in what must be the smallest capital Posted by jappelman in Bangkok to Rio | Dec 20, 2007
