Vientiane is the capital of Laos. We were told there wasn't much to do and it was proven correct.

In the Tubing: Vang Vieng
Vang Vieng is known for tubing and partying. Years ago, it was a bustling stop for backpackers wishing to float down the river and stop at the multiple bars, zip line into the river, and jump from the steepest points.

The boys and I opted for a three day, two night trekk in the hills. We had heard from friends that it was their favorite part of Chiang Mai, so I was stoked. For only 1800 baht ($60), it covered all our expenses, minus alcohol obviously. There were four other people in the group, which … Continue reading Trekking in Chiang Mai: Day 1
