Who would think of going down a river with a tire? We do not know who had the idea ... but it has been to put the tires to the river, add a teaspoon of music unz unz, mix everything with alcohol and ta-dan! The recipe for laosian disneyland It was done! In a nutshell, If you are a backpacker traveling through Laos 99% you will pass by Vang Vieng!
Hordes of backpackers flock here from all over, ready to dive down a river that has some dantesco: around 10 beauties are surrounded by placid waters and mountains, each offers free shots, cool beers, buckets a few euros, zip lines ("I have not seen the zip line") and giant swings from where to challenge your fears to the sound of the latest techno hit ... is what is already known as tubbing!
No. Finally we did not decide to TUBEAR, maybe we lacked the Soufi and the Cantellone to convince us, but we preferred a more relaxed afternoon of kayak to the tire!
What we could not escape was the Family Father session (or if you prefer the variant is Friends) that all the baretos of the town continuously put ... and this added to a good wiener shnitzel (Simon finally the Snitzel day has came!) with an exquisite mashed potatoes has made us forget what fools we looked like the guiris... all the same watching the TV with banana smoothies, beer lao, the occasional pancake ... come on ... SAME SAME but SAME! Things of the Disneyland of Laos!
(By the way here if you want your banana smoothie to be more “Happy"You just have to ask ... But it was not forbidden? And NOT Mom, ours was not happy!)
Of course, just because of the surroundings of this place, it is worth a visit! Don't come to Vang Vieng just to the tubbing, copon, copete copín!
