      Hey! Thanks for your comment. Generally speaking, if you start having conversations about your travel plans in Laos, someone will be able to suggest where to go to book/enquire. That's certainly what we found anyway. In all three villages, you'll see businesses advertising the services they're able to arrange for you on signs outside and prices are generally the same wherever you book. We would say that prices were always very reasonable. Accommodation providers in particular love an upsell, so we arranged a vast majority of our onward travel through our accommodation hosts because it was just easier that way. You tell them where you want to go and they sort everything out for you. This works even if you're travelling on a tight budget. I guess ultimately, our advice would be to not worry. The whole process was pretty straightforward and didn't require too much effort to sort out. Just be willing to ask people for help.

      While is Laos, we booked most of our transfers via our accommodation, so we can’t recommend a specific company. I’d recommend doing it this way as you’ll get the best price and it’s just easier. Failing that, we recommend booking through 12Go and/or Baolau as both offer photos and reviews of the transport options.

    • @heretotravel
      @heretotravel 23 дні тому

      Hello. Thanks for watching and for your comments. Visitors are required to walk a lot during their visits. This includes across narrow wooden bridges, along narrow paddy field paths and up a steep hill. Unfortunately, I’d say it was unsuitable for the person you described. There are other ethical elephant sanctuaries in Thailand worth considering, including Elephant Nature Park which is fairly nearby. The parks listed at www.worldanimalprotection.org/latest/blogs/thailand-elephants/ are wildly considered to be the most ethical in Thailand.

    Education time! 1: Norwegians trust meterologists and statisticians even less than British people do. -30 is cold in the south, but I've definitely seen -35, whatever they try to tell you. General rule for minimum temps, barring rare exceptions, is -25 in the east if you're near the coast, -30 to -35 if the fjords freeze over, -5 on the west coast, -10 if you're on the coast in the north, -35 inland in the south, -40 to -50 inland in the north. And despite this situation, being on the coast always feels a lot colder for some reason. 2: If there are still trees you're not in the mountains, although the tree line moves down the further north you go. In the south we call the mountains with trees on them 'hills'. The place you went to is usually just called 'skauen', meaning 'the woods'. Norwegians are prosaic by nature.

      Hey! You’re the sort of person we had in mind when we shot our videos (someone who’s about to replicate our trip), so it’s lovely to know you found our vid useful. So, it does seem that visa rules have changed since our visit and UK citizens can just rock up to the border and be stamped in for 45 days. We had to apply for an e-visa. Obviously, do keep a close eye on any potential changes right up to the day of your transit as visa rules can change without notice and often, for no good reason. Have a fab trip!!!

      It’s only the initial hour or so travelling down the mountain, and it’s not too bad. The bus travels pretty slowly. We sometimes get a bit travel sick too, but we managed without any issues. It’s a good service and worth paying a little bit extra for.

    The bumper boats are much joy at "Tarzāns", give them a try when you visit :) and one would usually of course allocate a whole day for the adrenaline-inducing activities. There are combo tickets as well. So you can not only conquer the tree top trails but also ride the toboggan a bunch of times for cheapo.

    Absolutely no reason why things are expensive in Laos! Even the resort your at now is pricey!

      It was already quite pricey. I guess inflation is a global issue.

    Hello, i want to know what time the last boat from nong khiaw to muang ngoy departure? Do u know that?

    • @heretotravel
      @heretotravel 2 місяці тому

      No, I’m afraid not. You’ll need to check when you’re there. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was only one departure in the morning (I’m fairly certain that’s the case). You might be able to arrange your own private boat at any time, but this will obviously be considerably more expensive.

    I guided myself to these places & more in 1.5 days - including two evening performances at the national opera @ ballet. I’m able to do this because I stayed in the old town next to the dome cathedral 😊. I shall be checking museums tomorrow as forecast raining. I guess each for what they like I won’t be to the market for example.

    What month did you visit guys? And do you know if there is an age limit? Would love to take my youngest down with me!

    • @heretotravel

      Hiya. We were there in early January. No age limit as far as we can remember. The run isn’t supervised, so you can just hire a kids sledge and take the plunge.
