MooNoi Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Boys, Have a look at the Bangkok Airways Discovery Airpass. Some good savings to be made here. :thumbup: Bangkok Airways Airpass BTW... Bangkok's Airways has been a bit dodgy lately.

kamui Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 but kamui we need hotels or would you rather sleep under a bus stop shelter? Hehe, I just want Laos to stay an extremely poor third world country, for that it doesn't lose its charm for us tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 kamui, I understand your fear, so why don't you go to burma instead before everyone does at least limit your travels to 1 visa paid country instead of 2 which is a bit of a waste no? Whatever you decide enjoy BTW around 5 years ago when I traveled around Laos including LP I was a bit disappointed already while the river trip down the mekong stopping by in countless small villages I'll never regret. Not sure how you feel about more 'adventure' travels, but now with the 2nd link completed you could fly to Nakhon Rachisima? cheaply and then trek over to Pakse in Laos thus replacing your LP & PP trip into an Isan/Lao trail assuming you already did Nong Khai/Vientiene which otherwise would be first choice? Oh while in Laos please import a few cases of Beer Lao (Dark version) to me please - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have never been to Laos. I just want to spend 3-4 quiet days there, reading books, looking at the Mekong and work 1-2 hours a day on my notebook. I got the impression that LP is the right place for this. The rest my two weeks I'll intend to spend in PP and/or at the beach in Sianoukville. What would you recommend?

Torneyboy Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I will help out ..we are going in Jan after Los for week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ah I think I understand mow So while Cambodia indeed is changing fast particularly in places like SR Laos is still laid back & probably will still be in 10 or 100 years from now LP probably is the best choice for just kicking back & watching the sun set over the mekong with a beer lao draft well it could be done in any city along the river even on Thai side it's pretty laid back still in 2009 problem remaining though the lack of beer laos So if you must include 3 countries in 2 weeks well you can do it, but perhaps best to enjoy & relax more with just Thai/Lao & next time Thai/Cambo then Thai/Burma etc or skip LOS altogether & hit VN as Torney mentions!

kamui Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'll skip LOS anyway, I will stay two night in BKK at the beginning for some shopping, massage and SC. I prefer Phnom Penh for P4P, because the city is much less stressing. But I want to see something new I thought of Laos. I don't want to go to Burma at the moment, I would think too much about the torture regime and the terrible fate of the people. Because of the flight costs invovled I am still undecided. As for the discovery pass, it doesn't seem to cover the route LPQ-PNH (Vietnam Airline). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
