Vang Vieng is a hyped village in Laos, 160 km from the capital city of Vientiane. As such, there are no attractions in Vang Vieng. I come here first of all for the natural beauty and active entertainment.

- Tipping: Tipping is not expected in Laos but a little spare change left at the end of a meal or taxi journey will be highly appreciated and will probably make a big difference to the worker’s daily wage. 10% at the end of a meal and rounding up a taxi fare is a generous way of showing your thanks for good service.
