379 Samsenthai Road, (formerly the Asian Pavilion Hotel) Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep, 01000, 856-21-213-430
We took a ten hour overnight bus from Vientiane to Pakse, and then decided to just keep straight on going all the way down to Si Pan Don (4,000 Islands) for my birthday. Si Phan Don is an amzing place where the Mekong splits apart into many smaller rivers and streams that flow around land forming thousands of islands. Some are large, but many are just small spots of grass and dirt no bigger than a kitchen table in diameter. Our boat rides around this area were really beautiful and the landsca...
Si Phan Don, Lao Peoples Dem Rep kellyg11Laos sits, sandwiched like a hot dog between eastern Thailand and western Vietnam. It is also bordered in the south by Cambodia and in the north by Burma and China so there is a fair mix of influences. We crossed the Friendship Bridge into Laos on July third, one day short of our Thai visa limit. A chap offered us an air conditioned taxi ride into Vientiane for 300 Thai Baht; we negotiated this down to 150 and were provided with a Ford Corona. I am no expert on vehicular history but I would i...

... to. The next day I took a boat cruise on the backwaters which was really nice and relaxing and saw a bit of how the villagers there live. We had some typical Keralan food for lunch served up on a banana leaf. I've got a suspision from my travelling that Lal's cooking comes somewhere from the south/west coast and I think looking into a few recipes from this area might reveal some clues to how to try and make the delicious food that he used to. I ...

In typically un-flambouyant Lao style the description plaque on the monument states "From a closer distance, it appears even less impressive, like monster of concrete" (nothing like bigging up one of your country's principal tourist attractions!). By 10am sign-seeing fatigue had set in, so we piled into the first massage spa that we came cross and laid down for an hour of traditional Lao massage.<br><br><br>After ...

Dave: ARE YOU AWAKE??? Us..... Dave: ARE YOU FEELING BETTER....ARE YOU ASLEEP??? Us....oh god, GO AWAY! Dave: WHAT????? Us...GO AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep jess_a88... br>Wes had planned on leaving at the 1/3 mark. But he was enjoying it and his feet were handling the business shoes well so he kept on. It started raining at the stop before the last leg. No one stopped there, they were in too deep. The trail spit us out next to the Mekong river, if it hadn't been raining we could have seen a beautiful sunset on the river, but dark ominous clouds blocked the view. The trail quickly turned to thick, waist high grass. I was following Sir Cum Navigator who was ...

It was this arena for geniuses who always met with other geniuses in their fields and sat around with coffee debating about how to save the world. Or they were in some dingy bar smoking and drinking cheap beer with safari clothes on and in some third world country, passionate but jaded with their world view. I have never been apart of either of these groups, but I think sometimes I ...

The guy from Holland and I looked at each other with the same weird/funny look on our face before he said "You know, I think the bunk below us is free". "Way ahead of you," I said, and I grabbed myself and resituated myself below. Disaster averted. Moments later the tranny left to ...
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep mattliThe drive from Luang Prabang was incredibly beautiful. The first half of the day long trip was mountainous and we occasionally passed through villages of bamboo huts...sometimes with a satellite dish! <br> <br><br><br>I spent the night in Vientiene which struck me as a pretty uninteresting place although I did have a wonderful meal.
