January 24, 2016May 19, 2017 millerpp 2 Comments Places

We flew from Luang Namtha to Vientiane on the 18th, then to Phonsavan on the 19th for a couple of days to explore the Plain of Jars. The Plain of Jars is a famous archaeological area in Laos. There are about 100 jar sites located in a large area mainly consisting of the province of […]

We returned to Luang Namtha to chill out for a few days before catching a flight back to Vientiane and then on to Phonsavan, located in the Plain of Jars. We didn’t do much except bring the blog up to date and write a few postcards. We rented a motorbike for a half day and […]

We heard that David Bowie died. Sad, he was one of my favorite musicians. I wish that I would have seen him in concert during his Ziggy Stardust phase. We arrived at Luang Namtha bus station at around 0910 for the 0930 bus to Muang Sing and bought a ticket for what we thought was […]

Luang Namtha, Laos: January 9-13, 2016

Luang Namtha is pretty much the opposite sort of place than Udomxai. There is lots of tourist infrastructure here, such as many hotels/guesthouses, many decent restaurants, lots of tour companies, and a lot to do. It is also a nice place to hang our and do nothing. Like the rest of the towns we have […]

Pak Beng and Udomxai, Laos: 7-9 January, 2016

We spent a forgettable night in Pak Beng, which is a small town (one street about 0.5 km long) on the Mekong River between the border crossing with Thailand at Huay Xai and Luang Prabang.  It’s only clain to fame on the tourist circuit is that it is where the downriver/upriver boats stop for the […]

Luang Prabang, Laos: January 1-6, 2016

January 16, 2016May 19, 2017 millerpp 1 Comment Places

We stayed at the Villa Mahasok Hotel ($45/night including breakfast). It was nice enough but way overpriced for what we got, and it is about a 30 minute walk to the center of town (we rented bicycles rather than do multiple treks to the center each day). Fortunately it is a pretty small town and […]

Vientiane, Laos: December 28-31, 2015

January 12, 2016May 19, 2017 millerpp 1 Comment Places

We flew into Vientiane from Ho Chi Minh City after changing planes in Pakse, Laos. The airport at Vientiane was about on par with Pakse airport, which made for a quick baggage pickup and exit. A 5-minute drive got us to our hotel (S Park Designer Hotel, $56/night with breakfast). Not sure what was “designer” about […]
