Travelogues Laos

After we clarified the food question in the last blog, we return to traveling. Unfortunately, our two weeks in Vietnam are already over and because the internet in Laos did not...

Our (for now) 11 days in Laos flew by and we only visited the 3 places Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, and Vientiane, as well as their respective surroundings. We spent the first few...

For the next day, we had rented a scooter again, as the city center of Vientiane didn't have much to offer. Our destination was the Buddha Park, as the name suggests: a park with...

After a leisurely day of reading and doing nothing on Don Det, we took the boat back to the mainland in the afternoon. Then we continued with a mini van to Pakse. Upon arriving...

On the 4000 Islands, you immediately notice that life here has a different rhythm than in Siem Reap. Everything is slower and much more relaxed. After arriving, we treated...

Hello everyone, another week has passed in the Laos project and I have some new things to report. Please read my previous article about Laos first, if you haven't already, so...

We arrived in Laos by plane, which of course did not go smoothly. Someone in our group, who shall remain unnamed, forgot their Swiss Army knife in their carry-on baggage and had...

Vang Vieng is a small town that used to be mainly known for tubing, which attracted hordes of drunk backpackers. Since the government banned this, Vang Vieng has positioned...

In the surroundings of Pakse, we visited the ruins of Vat Phou and the Bolaven Plateau with the Tad Fane and Tad Gneuang waterfalls.

We start our Laos adventure in Luang Prabang with the Kuangsi Waterfall, food at the Night Market, and a scooter tour of the area.

After a night in the border town of Chiang Khong in Thailand, I took a tuk-tuk to the border the next morning. Luckily, everything went smoothly at the border crossing and for...

The only flight within the Asia tour went to the capital city of Laos, Vientiane. We woke up early again, flew for a good hour, and then had to wait in a pretty long queue for our...

The past 3 days we were in Luang Prabang - Laos. Laos used to be a French colony and its effects can still be seen today. Not only are the houses influenced by French style, but...

Sunday 19.11.(77km/600m) On our way, we finally reach 8000 ! Then we also meet Johannes who is coming towards us - do you still remember? That was the guy who had over 50 kg...

Between Buddha and other partly very bizarre statues

Our next stop was Vang Vieng. A strange place in the middle of a wonderful karst landscape! Not too long ago, it was easier to find opium here than cold beer, but then the city...

Now we sadly left behind 4000 amazing islands and made our way to the next bus station in Pakxe. We took an overnight bus to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. We have already...

Day 171-177 On March 25th We borrowed two Honda Wave S scooters with 100 CC in Thakhek. We first went for some breakfast and then set off on the “Loop”. The loop Our...

With renewed energy and renewed optimism, I crossed the border into Laos on my bike. The border police were already looking at me with amusement, just as I was already sweating...

Hello everybody, today I had my second day in the new project. I am here at the Lao Zoo, which has been more than just a zoo for a few years now, but primarily a non-profit...

We chilled out for two relaxing and nice days in Don Det :) Waterfalls, dolphins, a few Beerlao, and done.

We are only making a stopover in the capital city of Vientiane and taking a short stroll. The visit to the COPE Visitor Center is absolutely worth it!

Vientiane is the capital of Laos and quite beautiful for an Asian city. ;-) You could feel that the celebrations for the Laotian New Year were just around the corner -...

Tuesday 14.11.(110km/ 1000 hm) Today we plan 110 km to Luang Prabang. It doesn't look really hilly on the map, but it was constantly up and down...phew... So when we...

Today, we traveled from Vientiane to Luang Prabang by minivan. The minivan, as is typical in Laos, was filled with 18 passengers and the driver, while the luggage was placed on...

Day 178- 184 On April 1st we drove to Pakse. From here you can go to the Bolaven Plateau. A plateau where a lot of coffee is grown. On the walk from the bus station in Pakse to...

Day 135-142 Yesterday we sat or crouched in the boat almost all day. Today, February 19th, we don't want to sit. We had breakfast and Ivar went back to bed for the siesta. I...

The leisure activities in Vang Vieng are huge, for us it's more of a place to take a breather and suddenly someone gets sick.

I met a Dutch girl my age in Vietnam and we wanted to travel Laos together. On Monday, 03.02.2020, she arrived in Luang Prabang, Laos. So, I didn't "lose" any days due to my...

After resting for a few days, the next day I took a Tuk Tuk to the city center of Luang Prabang, as my hostel was about 10 minutes outside. First, I passed by the Buddhist temple...
