Vang Viang, Laos










Vang Viang is located in northern Laos. The whole purpose of going to this township was to relax & float leisurely down the river in a tyre tube whilst being slightly intoxicated. Almost every traveller I have met has raved on about being in Vang Viang. Now that i have experienced it, I can appreciate what all of the fuss was about...yep...it was awesome.
First things, first, get over the murky water!!!! Then you will have the time of your life. The cool thing about travelling though Laos was when I first entered the country via slow boat there was about 15 or so people on the boat with me and we all just clicked, we stayed together for about 1 week. This was the first time whilst i have been travelling that such a large group of people got along and worked together as a team.
