Hello : )
Today I will review a trip for salarymen who have to take 1 day off. This trip is to Vang Vieng, Laos.
With an unforgettable experience of running out of money 55555555555555555555
Please also leave a comment on my first post in Phuket >> http://pantip.com/topic/35136723
I saw a lot of people reviewing it, and I read it and felt like I wanted to go level 10.
It just so happened that I tried pressing the round-trip plane ticket to Udon Thani for 1000 baht. Book it, what are you waiting for?
This trip is with the same boyfriend. 55 None of my friends were free, so two people were fine.

Same travel plan with Singto, but with an earlier flight.

I met my boyfriend around four in the morning. Of course, this time I didn't take the Shuttle bus from Suvarnabhumi to Don Mueang.

Because the first round is at five in the morning, I'm definitely going to miss my flight. I'm so sad TT

Upon arriving at Don Mueang, I checked in, boarded the plane, and fell asleep.

07.00 a.m. Arrival at Udon Thani Airport

We opted not to check our bags because we were worried about waiting for them and missing our bus to Vang Vieng. (We wanted to save time.)

After exiting the airport, I bought a van ticket to Udon Thani Bus Terminal for 80 baht per person.

After that, I bought a ticket from Udon Thani to Nong Khai to Vang Vieng.

The bus leaves at 8:30 AM sharp. After the bus has been running for a while, a staff member will distribute a form like this for us to fill out our information.

And then we did the immigration process as usual.

After that, I slept for a long time. When I woke up, it was time to eat and

The bus will stop for us to eat and use the restroom.

And here's our first meal, stir-fried basil with pork and shrimp fried rice. It's delicious, or maybe I'm just hungry. Haha.

The restaurant also offers money exchange. We can exchange money here.

It takes about 7 hours to travel!!

3:30 PM Finally, we arrived at Vang Vieng.

As for accommodation, we didn't book anything. We just planned to walk in. We read in the reviews that it would be cheaper that way.

Please walk and take pictures.

Oh!! Shop four men 5555555

There are quite a few motorbike rental shops.

Restaurant

There are also beauty salons.

Tour and activity shop

Walking and walking, I came across the Song River.

Eager to stay by the Song River, we walked around asking for prices of accommodation in the area. After asking around, we decided to choose River View Bungalows.

The first night we got a room that was not by the river because the riverside was fully booked. This room was 600 baht.

After taking a nap in the air conditioning, we went out to explore the area.

After the air conditioning has dried our armpits, let's go have a beer.

The atmosphere is very good. I like it.

Sitting with my feet dipped in the water, sipping beer with a light drizzle, it's so blissful >//<

Beerlao is a must-try when visiting Laos. It's incredibly affordable, only 40 baht!

After a while, I smelled something delicious. Hmm, barbecue.

Sitting and talking, watching the children play in the water, it's a different kind of vibe.

I'm starting to get hungry. Let's go find some dinner to eat.

Note: I didn't take a picture of my dinner.

Here's a picture of Uncle's roti, but I have to apologize to Uncle first.

The picture is like this, but Uncle's roti is really delicious, not kidding : )

Day 2. START!!
Our plan for today is Tham Jang, Blue Lagoon, and tubing down the Song River.
We didn't buy a tour, we're going on our own, let's go!!
We woke up, showered, and got dressed, and then we were greeted with this. The weather is great.
We left our bags with the staff because we had to move to a room by the river, hehe.

After that, I went to rent a motorbike for 60,000 kip and filled it with another 10,000 kip of gas.

Visiting here is very expensive. I won't go into details, I can't remember. 55555555

Here is the orange bridge.

There will be shops along the way.

The climb is quite tiring.

This is what the inside of the cave looks like.

Let me tell you, it's very cold, like the air conditioner is set to 20 degrees.

It's colder than the air conditioner in the room. 5555555555

After chilling in the cave for a while, we headed to the Blue Lagoon.

Please pay your respects at the temple before you go.

The way to the Blue Lagoon is across this bridge. They charge a toll again.

Along the way... there is fog all the time. I like this place because the sun is not too hot.

The road is good.

Parking also costs money.

We're here!

The Blue Lagoon that everyone is talking about, the water is green like this.

When I arrived, there weren't many people yet.

Before going to play in the water, let's fill up our energy first. Let's eat some rice.

There are restaurants nearby.

This is where the story reaches its peak.

Counting money, counting money, sheesh, I'm almost out of money. But I can still afford to eat this meal.

Oh no, that's embarrassing! Both of you are shocked because you didn't calculate the money beforehand.

The bus fare back is not enough! What should I do, Mom? !!!!

That meal was the most unappetizing meal ever. TT

I'm thinking of a way. I have a credit card but I can't remember the PIN for both of them.

The only thing I can think of right now is to try withdrawing money from an ATM or shamelessly borrow money from someone else.

After lunch, we went up to Tham Pu Kham Cave first. It is recommended to bring a flashlight.

Keep climbing and you'll get there.

Extremely tired, very high and steep.

My legs were shaking when I got off the plane. 5555

After that, we went swimming!!!

But I'm still worried about money. It's so frustrating.

Just a short trip to Tham Pu Kham, surprisingly crowded. There were only Oppa, Ajumma and Onni, with a few foreigners scattered around.

The water is very cold. It's so cold that I'm shivering. 555

After jumping into the water twice, we decided to return to our room.

Let's go find an ATM. I really want to withdraw some moneyyy TT

I decided to go back to the ATM near my accommodation.
I tried 4-5 machines, but the money wouldn't come out. 😭 What should I do?
After that, I was overwhelmed with stress and decided to go back to my accommodation to use the internet to find out what to do.
As I mentioned, I moved to a room by the river tonight. The atmosphere is like this.

It's very nice, no sun but it will be muggy, it's about to rain.

Inside the room, it's a bit messy, but the room is big and the air conditioner is cool.

After entering the room, I sat down and started reading various websites. I was wondering how to withdraw money, but I couldn't find the option.

After researching the information, we decided to go to the bank together.

Before entering the bank, I tried pressing the ATM in front of the bank first.

The result is... I passed! I'm jumping for joy! I can finally go home! : )

This one, please.

Let's go, honey. Let's go crazy and celebrate with beer. 55555555555

Got some money, let's hurry and book the return bus ticket before I run out of money again, haha.

And then we went to buy a tubing trip.

This shop is right next to M MART.

Then we took a car to the headwaters.

Foreigners bump their bellies together. Why are you secretly taking pictures? 555555555

And then drifted along the water, living a slow-life.

Greeting the foreigner who floated by, I really like this kind of life.

During the float parade, it rained intermittently, but it wasn't a problem for us.

After about 2 hours of cruising, I started to feel hungry and cold. 555

When will we get there?

We reached the stop point and returned the lifebuoy to the shop.

After that, I ate. I was sooooooooo hungry.

Anyone who comes here, I recommend trying this. It's super delicious, I love it so much. I want to eat it again after I'm done.

After a long day of work, I went back to my room to take a shower and relax.

Then we went out to find some real food to eat.

I highly recommend this restaurant, Krua Thai 3.

The shopkeeper is kind and friendly. And another thing is that the food is really delicious.

But what's more delicious than the food is this handsome foreigner. How can he be so good-looking?

After eating, let's check the bill and go for a walk.

I really wanted to go to the Sakura Bar, but my boyfriend wouldn't let me. So I just ended up taking a picture in front of the store.

Awwwwwww, so sad. TT

And then I went back to my room to sleep. I have to go home tomorrow.

After checking out, I came straight here to eat this first thing in the morning.

Then took another 7-hour drive back to the Thai side.

I booked a flight for 5 pm, but the car is driving too slowly. I'm afraid I won't make it to the airport on time.

It's all exciting, huh? 55555555555555

Once I crossed over to the Thai side, I immediately checked in online. Otherwise, I would have missed my flight.

Upon arriving at the bus terminal, we quickly hailed a three-wheeled taxi to the airport for 100 baht for two people.

It's cheaper than the van fare I took to get here, lol.

The aunt then rushed over as fast as she could and made it to the plane on time. Phew, what a relief!
