The few days in Bangkok were gone like nothing. Since we went to bed late every night I did sleep long every morning. After breakfast – usually at the little Vegetarian place over the klong – it was back into the comfort of the air con room. And in the evening out on the street…
After Nong picked me up at the bus station in Udon Thani we went for some vegetarian food and then to her village. Since that is not a place where tourists go the guesthouse situation is not really good. One “homestay” far away from everything did start at 600 bath. A bit over my budget….
Since Nong visited me in Vientiane I stopped over on the way to Bangkok in Kut Chap. She did pick me up in Udon Thani and then we drove to the village. Kut Chap (Thai: à¸à¸¸à¸”จับ) is a small village with about 9000 people some 24 kilometer outside of Udon Thani. Looks like everybody know…
So you want to travel from Vientiane to Udon Thani or Bangkok? You can do it easily and get a bus from one of the travel agents. To Udon Thani they asked 60.000 Kip in March 2015. No clue why that is so expensive. At the bus station in Vientiane, a ticket to Udon Thani…
Since I wanted to meet friends in Vientiane Friday night i had to get down there. Took the VIP bus for 50.000 with a pick up in town. That worked quite good and the best thing was that the bus did stop opposite the Mixay Hotel. That was the hotel where I wanted to stay…
A few days in Luang Prabang before I took a minibus down to Vang Vieng. 60 years Lao People’s Revolutionary Party! After that looong day on the boat I was happy to arrive in Luang Prabang. Took me about 30 minutes to find a room. The guy wanted 50.000 kip but when I turned away…

Last time I went to Laos I organized everything myself and did only one day on the slow boat. Than I took a bus up North. This time I did want to spend as much time as possible in Pai. So I booked a ticket with AYA Service from Pai to Luang Prabang. The mini…
I am in Viang Vieng now and it is really humid and hot. Not sure if that is only haze or it is misty on top of it. Guess it is the smoke. Since I have to stay at last 6 more days here in Laos I will stay a few more here. After it…
Here is the almost last set of pictures from Pai. I am in Laos since the 18th of March Once again at Sapha Muang – Khao Soy – my favorite dish of the North An afternoon back home in the garden. It does look so much better when everything is green. Great evening at the…
This is the second part of the day. You find the first part here: Driving to Mae Hong Son. We wanted to visit the long bamboo bridge Su Tong Pae and did not find the place. After we took some pictures at another temple we drove back to a village and asked the locals. They…
After breakfast we left the guest house. The Sonic needed a drink so I stopped at the gas station. Than it was off to a little village in the mountains. The Lisu had to fill up too – now they drive back to their mountain village Its me and my small bike We did stop…
