Everytime I see people are taking a 'slow boat trip' of 2 days to go from Chiang Khong to Luang Prabang. I was wondering if there is another way to do this (by bus, truck, ...)? Maybe going via the north (Houei Xai - Vieng Phouka - Luang Namtha - Oudom Xai - Luang Prabang)? If so, is it easy to do this trip by bus in the rain season? Anyone done this before? Thanks in advance! Stijn. jaykhonlao bout Post Count: 19 Msg: #12 88 weeks ago, April 15th 2008 | the rainy season start in the end of May or first of june, This season there are a lot of rains througout the country | people will start to cultivate. go to laos on rainy season to see the rain fall in Laos and people live with nature and greenland. you can take a bus after crossing the border, the road is moutian road from huai xay.. but it will safe..

Is there anything there that you think I should definitely do? It is also the first time I am going to travel alone, will it be dangerous for an asian girl to travel alone there?

How safe will it be for us to travel in Laos? Should we just stick to the cities? | We like exploring national parks, countryside and in Laos in particular we want to go tubing Thanks jaykhonlao bout Post Count: 19 Msg: #16 86 weeks ago, April 28th 2008 | the rainy season start in the june- October in Laos | Laos is a safest place in the world, i suggest that there s no any problems if you want to travel outside the city, to see the forest and trekking or tubing whatever, it centainly needs a guide or some travel agency to do the trip for u. besides. there will be a lot of mosguitoes in this season and dont let them bite a kid a lot.. because some mosguitoes may caused the desease, if u think is neccesary u and ur dauther should have some vacines before entry laos. Siphandon, (four thousand islands) in the southern Laos, is quite nice and relax... IgorDR Igor De Ruitz Post Count: 2 Msg: #17 78 weeks ago, June 25th 2008 | Hello! | I'm going to stay a couple of weeks in Laos and I want to spend 2/3 days trekking. After reading guides, forums, reportages I still have the same doubt: Luang Nam Tha or Tha Khaek national parks? Which one is better considering the season (August)? Which one is better from wildlife point of view (photography)? Which one is better from the ethnographic point of view? Which is your preference? Thanks [Edited: 15:36 - IgorDR ] jaykhonlao bout Post Count: 19 Msg: #18 78 weeks ago, June 26th 2008 | trekking now is not very nice weather in Laos | but in some places has no rains for many days, this season is rainy season, so it s hard to forecast the weather. if u decided to do trekking in laos just following ur travel guide book which has told u where s the best and many people go there and it s safe 1 in the end September and first October is Boat racing Festival for Laotian, we celebrate the end of rain season. it s worth to visit and see our culture 2 Phoukhao khouy, ( bufflo Mount) in Bolikhamsay province, is the best to see wildlife 3. southern Laos to visit a minority .Lao theung.. Salavan, Attapue, Sekong and champasack just to give u some idea in Laos.. IgorDR Igor De Ruitz Post Count: 2 Msg: #19 78 weeks ago, June 26th 2008 | Thank you for the anwser. | What a coincidence! This morning I woke up and had the idea to visit Phu Khao Khuai, and now your're confirming my idea. I think I'll follow your advise and will go there to shot some wild animals... with my camera.
