    Hello from Berlin Germany✌I was thinking about visiting Vang Vieng so I just asked Google Maps how best to get to Vang Vieng. No route available by plane and no route was shown to me by car or bike. Running but possible says Google Maps and shows me exactly where I could run. Duration of the walk: 2,389 hours for 10,585 km. Yes, it is very beautiful in Vang Vieng but unfortunately I won't be able to actually see it because I don't want to pay for the many pairs of shoes I would use for this walk. But thank you for this beautiful video👍😉

    Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos should implement a joint free visa policy for tourists and their citizens. This initiative would boost tourism and stimulate economic growth in the region...
  • The place is not looking so good. The infrastructure are not reliable. The quality of the pictures are not fully clear. It's hazy. But you have done your best. Thanks a lot. Take care. (from lndia)

    Gorgeous, especially Blue Lagoon 3 and the sunset behind the mountains at the night market. The market itself doesn't look so interesting- too many elephant pants ;-)
