Vientiane Ranches - Reviews and Rates

I had been told to try to avoid spending time in Vientianne, or only spend one night there at the most, apparently the city is less that thrilling. As I had spent so much time travelling overland recently, I also decided that I really couldn't face the 2 day journey overland into Laos, so decided to go the flashpacker way and flew instead. It wa...

Hej igen Her er en hilsen fra Laos, men ligesom den forrige bliver den meget kort da vi lige straks skal ud til lufthavnen og forhaabentligt have et fly til Hanoi. Jeg smider nogler billeder op og forklaring maa desvaerre foelge.

We arrived to Vientiane at around 10:30, when we arrived, we asked the bus driver to give us a lift to Vang-Vieng and he agree. There where five of us who took this opportunity and stayed on the bus, we thought we have done a good deal until the bus driver asked for 300 Baht each. We went down and where on our way to look for guesthouse in Vient...

Stayed at Mixay Guesthouse, $5 a night Seeing as the raging nightlife in Na Nam township didn't keep me up much past dusk, I'm up and cycling by 6.30am. I love cycling this early - the road is your own, the temperature is comfortable, and you have the satisfacti...

Before we arrived to the border crossing we stopped at a shop to get me a visa. I had my picture taken and had to fill out some paperwork. We drive 1 block up the road to the border crossing. I pay US $31 to cross and my Thai friends pay nothing and just show their Thai ID card. We crossed the First Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge on a bus to L...

Wednesday 22nd October... So so happy to be in Laos now - we couldn't leave Vietnam quick enough. We had some good times but couldn't stand anymore of the slimy, thieving, lying people. I think I met about 6 genuine, nice people in the country, and 3 of them were from the same family. Thankfully, the people in Laos are absolutely lovely! Left Ha...
