Luang Prabang to Vientiane with Pops

[mobs00]

I took this trip with my Dad in November 2007. He had come to stay with me for 3 months and as I had never been to Luang Prabang before we decided that would be a good place to start.


I momentarily thought the slow boat would be nice but decided against it. There really is only 2 options of getting to LB: an expensive flight or a slow and grueling 2 day trip on a floating sardine can packed with backpackers. We took the flight. We left Chiang Mai on Laos Airlines and an hour later we were in Luang Prabang.

I got my first laugh of the trip when we were going through immigration. You get a 30 day visa and depending on where you are from the cost is around $35. So we’re waiting in line and here are the Canadian’s bitching about the cost! Why? Because Canadians have to pay $50 and Americans only $35!
