Looks like age is catching up with you, MeMock...

MeMock · 22-11-2008, 06:17 AM

yeah it is hard trying to keep up with the antics of Mr DD all the time!

Norton, you are correct - in fact I am just about to go off and have a look at the latest on that thread now!

Looks good MM, will give a try on my next trip, can I say you sent me?

MeMock · 04-12-2008, 10:44 AM

ermmm doubt they would remember me as I never had breakfast there. Actually they would remember me as I had about 3 large boxes plus some tree sculptures I had to take up and down the stairs on top of my luggage.

$16 a night. I think it included breakfast.

MeMock · 04-12-2008, 10:45 AM

I have another photo of the place which should give you a laugh, I just gotta find it first.

MeMock · 04-12-2008, 11:41 AM

Here you go PP,

This bloke should remember me as I took a pic of him changing the light bulb with a pair of pliers whist standing on a chair which was balanced on another chair.

cimboc · 04-12-2008, 11:45 AM

^maybe he's always wanted to join the circus and is just waiting for his call up?

MeMock · 04-12-2008, 11:53 AM

You two would make a great double act.

MeMock · 04-12-2008, 12:34 PM

How much should you pay for a tuk tuk from the fountain area to the Thai embassy?

melvbot · 18-03-2009, 02:13 PM

Its about 2, max 3 kms from there. I stayed at Phetmanyxay just down the road from the bus station, jumped in a tuk tuk and not knowing how far it was paid something like 60 baht. I walked it after that, only 10 or 15 mins.

English Noodles · 18-03-2009, 02:32 PM

^Okay, cheers for that, I'm getting the bus up from Bangkok later this evening, should hit the embassy about 10 am tomorrow and then have to look for a place to stay overnight, phoned the place MTD stayed in that was in another thread but they are full, will take a look at some of the places mentioned here.

BTW should I get some USD in Bangkok before going or can I get by on Baht? Maybe more expensive using Baht?

Plenty of internet cafes in Vientiane, also by the Mekong River your Thai mobile phone will work ok.
