  • Transportation

    • Intra City Tuk Tuk’s are the way to go just be sure to hassle

    • Around the country you can easily find buses both local and tourist that will take you where you need to go. Make sure you shop prices because some hostels or bus stations will charge different prices for the same thing

  • Accomodation

    • Vientiane

      • Dream Home Hostel 2- very dingy hostel but also super cheap. Had great atmosphere among other backpackers

    • Vang Vieng

      • Easy Go Hostel- Has an airconditioned dorm that is more modern than the main house. Also the cheapest hostel I ever stayed in all of my travels. It’s a short walk to the main downtown area

  • Next Time

    • I did not get to see the Plain of Jars which looked really cool

    • South of Vientiane is a lot less explored by tourists but still extremely beautiful
