Derek and Ann’s Travels in Laos
OCTOBER 2010.
Our
friends,
Gill
and
Dave
had
spent
time
in
Laos
and
after
looking
at
their
photos,
we
decided
to
book
our
flight
to
Bangkok.
We
then
went
to
Chaing
Khong
where
we
crossed
the
mighty
Mekong
to
Huay
Xai
in
Laos.
We
took
the
boat
down
the
Mekong
to
Luang
Prabang
(a
lovely
town).
Our
travels
by
bus
took
us
to
Phonsavan
(Plain
of
Jars
and
mine
clearance
work),
Vang
Vieng
(caves
and
canoeing),
Ban
Na
Hin
(river
trip
through
mountain)
Paske,
4000
islands
(Don
Khon
and
Don
Det
with
Mekong
rapids)
and finally over night train from Urbon (Thailand) to Bangkok.
We enjoyed our back packing around Laos. It’s a country where not so many British
people go, friendly and beautiful. A flight direct to Luang Prabang from Bangkok
probably would have been better.
