After years of war, peace and tranquillity have come to Laos and Vietnam and these two countries are slowly opening their doors and providing a warm, friendly welcome to the adventurous traveller. We travel by a wide variety of local transport including bus, songthaew, tuk-tuk, Mekong riverboat, mini-van, train and pirogue (narrow canoe). Accommodation is in simple hotels and guesthouses.
From Bangkok we travel north to the mighty Mekong River and travel into Laos. Crossing the river is like stepping back in time to the old South East Asia. Following the river, we visit the beautiful town of Luang Prabang and then continue to Vang Vieng and the sleepy capital of Vientiane.
