Thailand/Laos trip summary

We stayed at the Three Nagas as well, loved it. Luang Prabang is one of our favorite trips.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't heard of either of these hikes that you did. They both sound great. Although, I was too scared to hike much in Laos as I had heard too many horror stories about the leeches there. Did you have any problems with them?

I just got back from Laos. I agree that hiking around Luang Prabang was the best activity. Beautiful and nice to get away from the very touristy areas. Unfortunately, the bad smokey part of dry season arrived early this year and we didn't get to enjoy the views. But I would also advise anyone to go to Vang Vieng as well. Vang Vieng was gorgeous! My boyfriend and I were very disappointed we weren't there that long.

I will tuck this into my back pocket for a far off future trip, thanks!

I loved Luang Probang, we were there for only a couple days. Another great spot was Vang Vieng and inner tubing down the Nam Song River. I heard they closed it down though and dismantled all the bars and zip-lines along the river. Vang Vieng used to be a back-packer's mecca.
