I take a solo trip around Northern Laos – Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang – taking in everything Laos has to offer: Kuang Si Waterfalls, Tipsy Tubing, Night Food markets, Pak Ou Caves, Blue Lagoons and more. Sharing a packed but peaceful itinerary for 10 days, I love Laos and I hope you will too.
