Sawatdee Kaa/Krup (hello) Thailand
... importance!
Of course we were dropped off at a bus station nowhere near town, so we shared a tuk tuk with a few other westerners who were also left stranded. We were hoping to catch the 4pm bus, from the one bus station that is actually in the city, over the border and into Thailand … if it wasn't already booked out. Luckily it wasn’t, so after drawing out a little more cash to pay for it and buying a baguette for lunch, we were signed ...
Met de VIP bus naar Udon Thani
... geproduceerd. Ik besluit één nacht te blijven en morgen te beslissen of ik blijf of naar een ander hotel ga.

Viva le Vientiane
Oh yeah, our VIP bus - I feel really sorry for any Lao popstars or footballers who are transported in this fashion. Something tells me that the Lao bus companies might not really appreciate my VIP status. There was no butler service, no chilled champagne, no foot masseuse and no box set of Baz Luhrman films for me to enjoy. To be honest there wasn't any air-conditioning, seat covers or functioning engine capacity either so I wan't too bothered ...
