Laos – Nong Khiaw
08/06/16 I headed off to the northern town Nong Khiaw to get a bit more of a 'real Laos' vibe. The bus journey cost 75,000 through the hostel but it costs 50,000 if you go to the bus stop yourself to book. The journey took 4 hours and was quite pleasant with some nice views, … Continue reading Laos – Nong Khiaw

07/06/16 Today was going to be a chilled day but after posting a blanket I'd bought back home for £40(!) we decided to go back to the waterfalls to do another hike to the source.

Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
04/06/16 I had a relatively easy day today, it was still raining so I didn't want to be walking around too much. Just opposite our hostel was a folk museum which had interesting information about the Khmer and Hmong village people, more so about their traditional clothing but also a little about their handicraft. I … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall
03/06/16 I had to check out of my guest house and move to Kounsavan hostel. I was happy to move as it meant there would be a better atmosphere and potentially more help when booking things. Turns out the staff at the hostel are just as unfriendly and unhelpful as the guesthouse. We were able … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall
