Vang Vieng Hotels - Reviews and Rates

'Sabaidee,' a hotel propretor announced as I entered the enclave of the Thavisouk Guest House in downtown Vang Vieng. I'd only be here for a couple of days, the object being to re-claim some of the photos I'd lost. You know, the ones of the fantastic limestone cliffs, the fantastic river scenery that most seem to not care about. The boozing and ...

In the morning me, Mark and Susan headed into town on a more scenic route than we had the previous day, which involved crossing a ramshackle bridge over a small stream, following a path through some fields with a beautiful view of the mountains in the distance, then walking north along the west bank of the river until finally crossing another br...

Before the international traveler, mostly youths looking for fun, discovered Vang Vieng, it was a sleepy little town hidden away besides a picturesque river with limestone hills lined up on the eastern bank. Today it is a replica of Bangkok's Khao San Rd., where in the street, farangs in shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, tank tops, bikinis, etc. out...

Today we went rock climbing in Vang Vieng, what a great day. Small trek and scramble to the start point - through lush green rice fields to these amazing rocks just sprouting up ( the rocks are made from limestone i think and it looks a little similar to Thailand) and the views are just amazing.
To be fair - before i started the climb i was ...

After the world's quietest capital city, Vientiane, our next stop was Laos’s party capital, Vang Vieng.

After a 5 hour bus journey we arrived in Vang Vieng our first impressions weren’t great. Five years ago this place must have been a great way to experience life in a small village in Laos. However there are now more under co...

Hi All!

Arrived in Vang Vieng today on a 'public bus'! Got the bus from Vientiane and we managed to catch the one where all the luggage was kept on the roof! To be honest I'm amazed all our transport has been so good so far. The bus kept stopping in all the little towns so all the passengers could buy food and fish and beer out the window...

There are two ways to get to Vang Vieng from Vientiane-the local bus or a minivan. Now, most of the people I met recently in Vientiane were of the minvan type-lots of young university students on holiday for a month or two, in South East Asia to party. I admire them for being so adventurous-when I was 18 I certainly wasn't traveling around SE As...

we took the bus from vientiene and arrives just after lunch in vang vieng it is just 2 roads made up of bars internet cafes and shops its even smaller than peasenhall and thats an achievment, but the place is packed with backpackers. we hired bikes and then cycled out to explore the country, we cycled along the dirt track passing cows and water ...

The bus to Vang Vieng was pretty comfortable. It was less comfortable that the guy across the aisle from us had a concealed AK-47 in his jean jacket and was nervously scanning the bus. Vang Vieng is a party city centered around the tubing bar crawl. You rent tubes then tuk tuk to the first bar on the river. You can tube down the river and stop a...

19th April 2009 Champa Lao Guest House, Vang Vieng, Laos So hot, I ain't moving out of the shade Oooh, I have a lot of catching up to do, so let's start with Luang Prabang and the New Year. We ended up staying 5 days over the New Year celebrations. Mama and Papa (our hosts) at Oudomphong were great people, that's what they call themselves and ev...
