Laos is a crazy place possibly because it was once run by the French. . . . But the French did leave a few good things behind, like baguettes :)
In the que to leave Thailand
We once again were illegal and had to pay another fine, this is the room where the magic happens.
P'Jun & P'Joke Drove the whole way! and it was pretty far about an 8 hour journey through time and space.
Our first Tuk tuk ride since being in S.E Asia, was a pleasant experience.
A small street market where we grabbed a quick drink in a bag again.
Deacon Fights Dragons
After all the hard work of sitting in the back of a car for 8 hours we walked around and tried to find a hotel with as P'Joke said "An Art Feel" after failing this we settled for a very nice place around the corner and we were shattered! The only rooms left were V.I.P rooms but it was £10 a person and included Breakfast, so we weren't complaining! although our room wasn't ready yet, so we sat about reading newspapers and drifting off to sleep.
Later on after a nap we headed to a temple and to get some food.
meat on a stick
There was a market selling some weird stuff from clothes to whiskey to toy guns..
The Disney land of the temple world.
Fair ground rides
Fair ground games
And us!
We had the pleasure of sampling the local delicacies 'Beer Lao' and 'Beer Lao Dark' we'd both recommend the dark :)
Our Abode for the night.
The Beautiful P'Key outside our hotel.
The Lao Prime Ministers Bachelor Pad
Another Temple this one was beautiful and the center building was facing in a different direction to any other of its kind, interesting eh?
The building behind us once held the Emerald Buddha but it was taken by the French (might be wrong on that one) and the building is now a museum.
Deacon turned this dragon to stone.
Las Vegas?
Bird.
We will be heading back to Lao next month to spend a bit more time there, we only stayed for one night on this trip, and next time we'll be experiencing some Saao Lao but only a few will know what that is ;)
Peace
