Go deeper

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Lao Culture
Laos is a deeply Buddhist country. Remove shoes before entering temples, dress modestly away from the river, and avoid loud behaviour near monasteries. Monks collect alms at dawn in Vang Vieng — observe quietly and do not photograph without permission.
Leave No Trace
The Nam Song River and its lagoons are natural treasures. Do not leave rubbish on the riverbanks, in the water, or at the lagoons. Carry a small bag for your waste and take it back to town. The beauty of Vang Vieng depends on visitors treating it with care.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the River Tubing travel guide.
