Can someone explain how you pay at the bars? Where do you keep your money and cigarettes and clothes??

@bekyeahuh @bekyeahuh well i had a waterprrof bags to keep all my belongings in, you can get those bags everywhere over there, there the plastic tube type bags that you roll over at the top and are totally waterproof so you can swim with them and nothing gets wet. there about 15 quid. you pay by cash on the river but vang vieng town did have 1 cash machine when i was there, although now i bet there are loads! have a great time, although toatally spoilt by us, its great fun!

I don't want to sound like an old fart, but when I visited vang vieng, it was unspoiled. this was only 8 years ago. no slide, no techno, no swing and for sure not that many tourists. but I think I'm part of the problem. when I came back I was advising everybody to visit the place. I went again the next year and there were already some changes going on but not like this. so sad.

I agree that vang vieng has become a westerners haven for madness drunkeness and mayhem, and is not representative of Laos at all.....but.......SOD IT, It was amazing! only this part of Laos is like this, although now that DON DET has electricity, that will be far more sad to see that place become like vang vieng. I wouldnt change Vang Vieng, like wise Don Det for anything!

As much fun as it may be, just a message to be careful, especially at night, with mixing tubing and drinking. My good family friend who was 19 fell victim to a terrible drowning accident this week. He was with a group of mates and 3 days later his body was discovered by local authorities. I know most of you are smart enough not to do it yourself, but just remember that if you're with a group, don't give into peer pressure and be sure to look out for those around you.

Thanks

@profet1001 Personally I think much of the residents are willing to overlook what you consider to be "bad" due to the money it brings to the community, most of these people are happy and not causing any trouble. When I was there all the backpackers high on weed and pissed on laos' finest were just as friendly and peaceful as the locals. I doubt vang vieng will ever become a true tourist trap, I cant see Laos as a country matching thailand and vietnam in terms of tourism anytime soon.
