Northern Laos is properly beautiful. Massive, jungle-capped, limestone monoliths jutting out of nowhere. So I've done what any self-respecting Brit would do here and binge-drunk my flipflops off.
Vang Vieng is the self styled tubing capital of the world. Floating down a Mekong tributary in a rubber ring - sounds sedate. It's not. It's possibly the most dangerous thing I've done. There are a lot of bars along the way, most of them give you free shots and they all have increasingly ridiculous ways to get back into the water. Horribly tacky. Very fun. And I didn't die. All Good.
In Luang Pra Bang now, it's the old capital, don't you know?
