The little tricks of DRDM
Skip Vang Vieng! A hyper-tourist destination, this town has very little charm. And if its landscapes are worth a look, they do not equal not those of the Thakhek loop. So take more time for this one.
Laos is a very chill country. So, on the transport side, don't rush. If you take buses during the day, plan a whole day because some transport can sometimes take 11 hours to travel 300 km. Just that !
