VLOG!! VANG VIENG TRIP: From Vientiane [Commuters and Backpackers]
Vang Vieng escapade
It’s my first time going to Vang Vieng so I search on the internet before I travel. Please search by yourself and all information I posted here is based on my own understanding, comfort and budget.
Commuters and backpackers this is for you!!
Take bus 🚌 number 8 from central bus station near Vientiane Center going to Northern Bus Station. I leave exactly 11:00 am and the bus leave every 30mins.
fare: 5000 kip.
I arrived at Northern Bus Terminal around 12:45 the bus take so long coz of bus stops which I definitely understand. Then I take mini van with 15 people inside and it costs 50,000 kip.
I arrived at Vang Vieng around 4:30pm. Its a tough ride coz the road is so curvy and will make your stomach sick so I advice to bring some sweets or white flower in case you will vomit. 2 passengers vomit along the the road, ewww, dirk haha.
The van drop me at the vang vieng center near buddhist temple and you can see a lot of backpackers dormitory along the road. Its is good if you haven’t book your accommodation coz you have lots of options when you arrive here. My experience I have booked in booking.com, the one that no need to pay via credit and it says you will pay in the counter when you arrived. In my case i just want a reservation so that I can cancel it whenever I can find a good one [bad backpacker sorry]. So yeah I end up staying at the Chillao beside the Buddhist temple. Its very cheap, good service and well accommodating. I pay 40,000 kip for one night and with FREE BREAKFAST already (Opps don’t expect a grand buffet from). Awoooot! Clap clap 👏
After I check i ready myself, wash my face and change clothes then start exploring every street of Vang Vieng. Boom!
I saw the sunset, the lake, family happy doing kayaking, the street foods, bars and the most important is the best temple with awesome scenery background ahhhhh.
