Hedonists paradise, bars filled to the rafters with people high on opium watching Friends, getting drunk and high from dawn til dawn .... just a few of the things people have said about Vang Vieng. I couldn't find it. There are a few people looking mildly high and a couple of empty bars with TVs showing episodes of Friends and the usual drunken middle class traveller twats but no more than anywhere else. The main attraction is the incredible limestone Kast scenery which you can float through on tractor tyre inner tubes - lovely for the first 3 hours - painful after 6 but with a winning smile and a 'Sabideeeeeeeeeeeee' to a guy in a canoe I was soon on speeding along back to town. Stayed in a beautiful treehouse - reminiscent of Koh Chang - right on the Mekong, soaked up the sun and re-recharged my battery ....
