Ha Long Bay Tour Article

So we’ve been in Vietnam about four days and just got back from the Ha Long Bay boat tour. Stopping in a quality hostel called Hanoi Backpackers which is where all the cool kids hang out. If anybody comes you gotta stay here. The end of Laos was okay the capital Vientiane isn’t that great but we did Kayak there which was fun though we did still spend four hours on a tuk tuk which aren’t the most comfy things to ride in. I’m down my first camera got, it got stolen from the bucket bar in Vang Vieng after I was trying to help some Canadian kid out of a spot of bother! You try and do a good thing hey! Reported it to the police who charged me for the report…corrupt! Also lost my sunglasses today so not the best of weeks for me losing things. Got a new camera now so that’s good. We got a flight to Hanoi from Laos with Lao airlines which we found out after booking don’t have the safest reputation and it was the smallest plane I’ve ever been on but we got here okay. Better than a 26hr bus journey anyway.

Halong bay, Vietnam scenery

Ha Long Bay was loads of fun and absolutely stunning. As we booked the tour through the hostel the boat only had people on from our place so all young and up for a good time. On route we all stocked up on essentials ie Vodka but nearly got turned back due to a possible typhoon! Weather turned out stunning and the first day we went to some caves which were okay and then did a bit of swimming before having a few shandy’s before bed. We slept on the boat and I thought at stupid o’clock along with Sarah from Oz that it was perfect time for a twilight swim! After we jumped in virtually the rest of the boat joined I’ve never seen so many drunk people in the sea before.

Next day up at 7am which really hurt and then went onto do some rock climbing. Was awesome pretty difficult and no one managed the fourth climb which was a 6b if that means anything to anyone. Got some great pics but as always struggling to upload. Surprisingly I got injured (cut my big toe) on a rock in the sea which had to be bandaged up else I would have smashed the last climb…..Second night we stopped on the isalnd of Cat Ba.

Back here now and staying until Sunday few people we met in Loa are coming over Saturday to celebrate me officially entering my mid twenties, should be fun!

Hope everyone is well with Indochina Sails!

How to go from Shanghai, China to Vientiane, Laos without taking a plane?

I am thinking about visiting Shanghai, China and would like to add an orthodox journey from Shanghai to Vientiane possibly by bus or train or whatever mode (but plane) if it won't cause me too much trouble.

Thanks

Train or bus really. The Mekong ends in a waterfall, so you can't take a boat up there to Vientiane, lol.

Visiting Thailand and Lao. What vaccinations do I need?

Next year, when I am 17 I am going to Thailand/Lao for a fortnight. I'll be visiting Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Khong, Mekong River, Pak Beng, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane. I currently live in the UK, and all my vaccinations are up to date. Which vaccinations will be essential for my journey? Sorry if I've not provided enough information, we only have a rough itinerary so far. If you need more, ask.

If all your vaccinations are up to date prior to leaving then you will not have any problems here. But better advise is to let your doctor tell you that. Hep A and B are important to be up to date. See you doctor not us expects here.

What is the best and most economical way to get from Vientiane to Luang Prabang?

We are on a tight budget, will be coming from Bangkok via train to the Thai/Lao border. We have heard that Luang Prabang is worth a visit. Are their any boats that can take you from Vientiane to Luang Prabang? We've heard so many conflicting stories. One thing we know, flying is out of the option because of the tight budget.

Luang Prabang is awesome, it's definitely worth a visit. If you don't have money for a speed boat or flight a bus is your only option:-(

The slow boat for 12 hours would be miserable, no way I would do it. The slow boats weren't very comfortable and you would be going against the current.

If you had the choice of going to Thailand,Laos or Cambodia for 3 weeks, which woud you choose and why?Thanks ?

It's just that I have the chance to go to one of these countries for 3 weeks and can't decide which to go to?! I know, such worries...lol.

Was thinking of going to Udon Thani or Chiang Mai in Thailand or Vientiane in Laos or Phnom Penh (possibly Siem Reap too) in Cambodia? Any ideas?

The biggest determining factor is of course money, the costs in each of these places!

Laos & Cambodia can be combined for a 3 week holiday,and certainly worth it,Thailand has become a bit expensive.
